Question

Sonia has only dimes and nickels in her coin jar; they are in a ratio of 3 to 5. IF she had 120 coins in the jar, how many are dimes? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

45 dimes and 75 nickels

Explanation:

3 ÷ 8 × 120 = 45

you divide the three by both ratios summed up (8) and then you multiply that by the coins

doing so will you can get 45

and to get the amount of nickels you just subtract 45 from 120 and you get 75
