Answer:

2 : 5

Explanation:

Ratio expresses the relationship between two or more numbers. It shows the frequency of the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).

We are to determine the ratio of dimes to nickels

total sum of nickels = 3 + 12 = 15

total sum of dimes = 4 + 2 = 6

6 : 15

three can divide each of the numbers

2 : 5
