Bryan has 3 nickels, 3 dimes, and 2 quarters. What fraction of the coins is either a dime or a quarter?
We got 5/8. Is that correct? Thank you so much...
I believe the answer is five eights. what I did is I added 3=3=2 and I got 8. so there are 3 dimes and 2 quarters so that equals 5. sense there are eight in all, I believe it's five over eight or five eights. 5/8!!
Yes
5/8 is my answer
To find the fraction of coins that are either a dime or a quarter, we need to calculate the total number of dimes and quarters, and then divide that number by the total number of coins.
First, let's find the total number of dimes and quarters Bryan has. He has 3 dimes and 2 quarters, so the total number of dimes and quarters is 3 + 2 = 5.
Next, let's find the total number of coins Bryan has. He has 3 nickels, 3 dimes, and 2 quarters, so the total number of coins is 3 + 3 + 2 = 8.
Now, we can find the fraction by dividing the number of dimes and quarters by the total number of coins. The fraction is 5/8.
Therefore, the fraction of the coins that are either a dime or a quarter is 5/8.
