A jar contains 120 pennies. A bigger jar contains 1 1/4 times ss many pennies. What is the value of the pennies in the jar?
(5/4) *120
= 5 * 30
= 150 pennies
which is $1.50
Which jar?
To find the value of the pennies in the jar, we need to know the value of each penny.
Since there are 100 pennies in a dollar, we can assume that each penny is worth $0.01.
Now let's calculate the number of pennies in the bigger jar. We know that the bigger jar has 1 1/4 times as many pennies as the first jar, which has 120 pennies.
To calculate the number of pennies in the bigger jar, we multiply 120 by 1 1/4:
120 * 1 1/4 = 150
Therefore, the bigger jar contains 150 pennies.
Now, to find the value of the pennies in the jar, we multiply the number of pennies by the value of each penny:
150 * $0.01 = $1.50
So, the value of the pennies in the jar is $1.50.
