I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!

Answer:
2 and 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to take 2 1/2 and convert it to the common denominator of 6
so 1/2 * 3 = 3/6. and 2*6 = 12. add the 12 and 3 to get 15/6. which is equivalent to 2 1/2
so multiply 15/6 * 5/6 and get 75/36 to get or 2 and 3/36. reduce down to 2 and 1/12
