Answer:
3/4 15 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert 0.75 to a fraction:
Divide it by 1: [tex]\frac{0.75}{1}[/tex]
Multiply both the top and bottom by 100: [tex]\frac{0.75}{1}\times\frac{100}{100}=\frac{75}{100}[/tex] (this is called a decimal fraction)
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the top and bottom by 25:
[tex]\frac{75\div 25}{100\div25}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex] (this is called a common fraction)
1 cent = 0.01 = 1/100 = 1 hundredth
1 nickel is worth 5 cents = 0.05 = 5/100 = 5 hundredths
1 quarter is worth 25 cents = 0.25 = 25/100 = 25 hundredths
Therefore, to calculate how many nickels represent 0.75 (75 hundredths) divide 75 by 5:
75 ÷ 5 = 15
To calculate how many quarters represent 0.75 (75 hundredths) divide 75 by 25:
75 ÷ 25 = 3
