How many quarters and dimes are in 6 dollars?

Answer 1

To determine the number of quarters and dimes in 6 dollars, we first convert 6 dollars to cents, which is 600 cents. Since a quarter is worth 25 cents and a dime is worth 10 cents, we can set up a system of equations: 25q + 10d = 600, where q represents the number of quarters and d represents the number of dimes. Solving this system of equations will give us the values of q and d, which represent the number of quarters and dimes needed to make 6 dollars.

Answer 2

If you want only quarters, divide 6 / 0.25. [24 quarters, 0 dimes]

If you want only dimes, divide 6 / 0.1. [60 dimes, 0 quarters]

If you want some combination of quarters and dimes, you can experiment a bit. For this specific problem, you'll need an even number of quarters to get the exact amount - so you can use zero quarters, 2 quarters, 4 quarters, etc.
