Answer:

(1) 3 to 11

Explanation:

Ratio of pennies to nickels is 8 to 3.

Pennies : nickels = 8 : 3

Pennies = 8

Nickels = 3

Total coins = pennies + nickels

= 8 + 3

= 11

Which of the following is the ratio of nickels to the number of all the coins?

Nickels : Total coins = 3 : 11

Or

= 3 / 11

Or

3 to 11

The correct answer is (1) 3 to 11
