Answer:

5 nickels

Skills needed: Coins and Money

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We need to understand the different coins in the problem.

There is a nickel in the problem.

The problem states that:

- A nickel is
\$0.05 which is
5 \text{ } cents

From above: A nickel is 5 cents.

2) After understanding the coin values, we need to understand what the problem is asking. It asks how many nickels Sam has if he has $0.25 (25 cents) in nickels.

---> In other words: How many nickels make up 25 CENTS?

- We can use division for that:


25 \text{ } cents / 5 \text{ } cents = nickels

(The amount of money divided by the money value of a nickel will equal the number of nickels).

---> 25 divided by 5 is 5.

5 would be your answer.
