Since the nickels are first and there are (1.00 /.05= 20) 20 nickels in a dollar the first number is 20 then next is quarters and there is (1.00 / .25= 4) 4 quarters in a dollar so the second number is 4 so now u have to simplify if you were told to the number 20 can be divided by 4 and the answer is 5 the number 4 is next divide by 4 and is 1 so the whole answer is 5 to 1 or 5:1<span> </span>
