Using the table, you are looking at a ratio of 9 Dimes to 6 nickels or 9:6 which can be simplified by dividing each by three (a number they are both divisible by without going into decimals) to get a ratio of 3 dimes for every 2 nickels she has, or 3:2

Answer:

<h2>The ratio between dimes and nickels is 3:2.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking about the ratio between dimes and nickels.

The given table is

Dimes:9.

Nickels:6.

Pennies:8.

Quarters:4

So, the ratio of dimes to nickels is

$\frac{Dimes}{Nickels}=\frac{9}{6}=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore, there are 3 dimes per every 2 nickels, that's the ratio.
