Answer:
1.67
Step-by-step explanation:
after the decimal we have the
tens
hundreths
thousanths
(usually math doesn't ask you to go farther than the thousanths place)
because 15/9 is 1.66666, you will go to the hundreths place and round that six. Six is one more than five so it gets rounded up. That changes the decimal to 1.67. You do not change it to 1.7, because it asked you to round to the nearest hundred not the nearest tens
Both 24 and 25 are rational. They can be turned into a fraction by putting a 1 as the denominator.
A nickel is equal to 5 cents or 0.05 dollars.
A quarter is equal to 25 cents or 0.25 dollars.
Let number of nickels be = n
Let number of quarters be = q
...........(1)
As it is given, there are 3 more nickels than quarters so equation becomes,
................(2)
Plug in the value of 'n' from (2) in (1)

= 


As
we get, 
Hence, there are 12 nickels and 9 quarters.
1:3 = 16/48 and 1/3.
Have a nice day! :D
