hundreds of ways... 50 dimes 100 nickels 20 quarters 40 dimes and 2 nickels 90 nickels and 5 dimes 16 quarters and 10 dimes 30 dimes 2 nickels 4 quarters etc figure it out ;)
2 nickels = 5+5 = 10 cents 2 quarters= 25+25= 50 cents therefore 50+10=60 so 2 quarters and 2 nickels is 60 cents
There are 10 ways.
The easiest way is to convert everything to cents first. - Seven nickels = 35 cents - Two quarters = 50 cents - so 7 nickels to 2 quarters is the same as 35/50, or 0.7 as a decimal number.
To make 60c, you can have no more than 2 quarters, because if you had 3 quarters that would make 75c, which is too much. So, you could make 60c with no quarters and some nickels, 1 quarter and some nickels, or 2 quarters and some nickels. If you have no quarters, you would need 12 nickels (12 x 5 = 60) if you had 1 quarter, you would need 7 nickels (7 x 5 = 35, 35 + 25 = 60) If you had 2 quarters, you would need 2 nickels (2 x 5 = 10, 25 x 2 = 50, 10 + 50 = 60) So, if you have to make 60c using quarters AND nickels, there are two different ways to do it: 1 quarter + 7 nickels 2 quarters + 2 nickels
