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
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
A dollar is 100 cents, a quarter is 25 cents, and a nickel is 5 cents. Thus a dollar is composed of 4 (100/25) quarters, or 20 (100/5) nickels. Therefore there are 5 times as many nickels in a dollar as there are quarters. Another way to look at it is to say that there are 5 nickels in a quarter, so there are 5 times as many nickels as quarters in any amount.
Ten (10) nickels and Three (3) quarters.
There are 25 of them.
