(PLEASE HELP, BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT) A jar is filled with quarters and nickels in the ratio 1 2/5 to 2 1/3. If there are 24 quarters in the jar, what is the ratio in dollar value of quarters to that of the nickels???

Answers

  2. Answer:
    40 nickels
    Step-by-step explanation:
    1 2/5 to 2 1/3 = 7/5 : 7/3
                          = 21/15 : 35/15
    21/15 = 24
    35/15 = x
    (35/15 * 24) / 21/15
    ∴ 56 ÷ 21/15
    = 40 nickels
