Gavin has nickels, dimes and quarters in a ratio of 8:1:2 if Gavin's coins are quarters, how many nickels and dimes dose gavin have?

If the ratio of Gavin's coins is 8:1:2, and the coins are quarters, then we can determine the number of quarters Gavin has.

Let's assume Gavin has 8x quarters in total.
Since there are 8 parts for nickels, and the ratio of nickels to quarters is 8:1, Gavin would have 8x * 8 nickels.
Similarly, for dimes, there is 1 part for dimes, and the ratio of dimes to quarters is 1:8, so Gavin would have 8x * 1/8 = x dimes.

So, Gavin has 8x quarters, 64x nickels (8x * 8), and x dimes.

Note: The actual values of nickels and dimes cannot be determined as we don't have the total number of coins or the value of x.

To find out how many nickels and dimes Gavin has, we can first calculate the total number of coins he has.

Let's assume the total number of coins in the ratio 8:1:2 is represented by the variable 'x'.

In the ratio 8:1:2, the sum of the parts is 8 + 1 + 2 = 11, which represents the total number of parts.

To find the value of each part, we divide 'x' by 11.

So, the value of each part is (x/11).

Now, we know that Gavin's coins are quarters, which means that 2 out of the 11 parts represent quarters. So, the number of quarters Gavin has is (2/11) * x.

Since we are looking for the number of nickels and dimes, we subtract the number of quarters from x:

Number of nickels and dimes = x - (2/11) * x

This can be simplified to:

Number of nickels and dimes = (11/11) * x - (2/11) * x

Number of nickels and dimes = (9/11) * x

To determine the actual number of nickels and dimes, we need to know the value of 'x'.

Without more information, it is not possible to determine the exact number of nickels and dimes.
