Question

If you exchange 120 dimes
for dollars, then how many
dollars would you get?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

you divide 120 by 10 since dimes are equal to ten cents

Answer 2

To determine how many dimes are in dollars:

⇒ must know the rate of conversion

⇒ for every dollar, there are 10 dimes

⇒
`(1_. dollar)/(10_. dimes)`

Let's solve:

`120_. dimes * (1_.dollar)/(10_.dimes) = (120)/(10) *(dimes)/(dimes) *dollar=12_.dollars`

Thus you would get 12 dollars

Answer: 12 dollars
