i really do not get this question bacuse i don't get what it means.. please help me ! :

"which amounts up to £1 cannot be paid exactly with fewer than 6 coins?"

please help... thankyou

I'm not familiar with the denominations of this currency, but if the question were in dollars, I would be looking for any amount under a dollar that needed six or more coins to make it. For instance, 92 cents would require 3 quarters, a dime, a nickel, and two pennies. That's 7 coins, so 92 cents would be one of my answers.

Hope that helps!

THANKYOU AMY..i know how to do it now ! thanks very much !

Your UK coins are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 pence. Anything ending in eight or nine pence requires 3 coins plus whatever it takes to make a multiple of ten pence. 88, 89, 98 and 99 pence require six coins. For example, you can make 88 with 50 + 20 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 1

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. In the case of UK coins, if the question is specifically asking for amounts up to £1, you can consider the following:

For amounts ending in eight or nine pence, you would need three coins. In addition to those three coins, you would need to add enough coins to make a multiple of ten pence to make up the complete pound. For example, to make 88 pence, you would need a 50 pence coin, 20 pence coin, 10 pence coin, 5 pence coin, 2 pence coin, and 1 pence coin. That adds up to six coins in total.

Some examples of amounts up to £1 that require six or more coins to make include 88, 89, 98, and 99 pence.

I hope that clarifies things for you! Let me know if you have any more questions.
