How many dimes are in 4 and three-fifths dollars?
3/5 of a dollar = 0.60 (3/5)
4.60/0.10 = ?
I don't know how to do the equation:
How many dimes are in $4+3/5?
4.60/0.10 = ? <~~This means to divide 4.60 by .10
Or, your could do,
Assuming you know that a dollar is 10 dimes, etc.
1.00 = 10 dimes
4.00 = 4 * 10 dimes = 40 dimes
0.60 cents = 6 dimes
4.60 = 40 dimes + 6 dimes
4.60 = ? dimes
To determine how many dimes are in 4 and three-fifths dollars, we need to convert 4 and three-fifths dollars into cents and then divide the result by 10 (since there are 10 dimes in a dollar).
To convert 4 and three-fifths dollars into cents, we first need to convert the three-fifths into a decimal. To do this, we divide three by five:
3 ÷ 5 = 0.6
So, three-fifths is equal to 0.6.
Next, we add 4 dollars and 0.6 dollars together:
4 + 0.6 = 4.6
Therefore, 4 and three-fifths dollars is equal to 4.6 dollars.
Now, we need to convert 4.6 dollars into cents. Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, we multiply 4.6 by 100:
4.6 × 100 = 460
So, 4 and three-fifths dollars is equal to 460 cents.
Finally, we divide 460 cents by 10 to find out how many dimes are in 4 and three-fifths dollars:
460 ÷ 10 = 46
Therefore, there are 46 dimes in 4 and three-fifths dollars.
