Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of zacharies nickels to dimes to quarters is 3 : 2 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Zachary has coins of the coins 3/6 are nickels, 2/6 dimes, rest are quarters.

Now, to get the ratio of zacharies nickels, to dimes to quarters.

So, as given dimes and nickels we find the quarters to get the ratio:

$\frac{3}{6} -\frac{2}{6}=\frac{3-2}{6} =\frac{1}{6}$.

Thus, the quarters are 1/6.

Now, getting the ratio of the coins:

Nickels = 3/6 × 6 = 3

Dimes = 2/6 × 6 = 2

Quarters = 1/6  × 6 = 1

Nickels : Dimes : Quarters = 3 : 2 : 1.

Therefore, the ratio of zacharies nickels to dimes to quarters is 3 : 2 : 1.
