Question

Ramone tossed 1 quarter, 2 dimes, and 13 pennies in the wishing well at the party. What is the total amount of money as a fraction and as a decimal?

Answer 1

For this case we have:
 1 quarter:
 (1) * (0.25) = 0.25 $
 2 dimes:
 (2) * (0.1) = 0.2 $
 13 pennies:
 (13) * (0.01) = 0.13 $
 Adding we have:
 0.25 + 0.2 + 0.13 = 0.58 $
 As a fraction:
 58/10 = 29/5 $
 Answer:
 The total amount of money as a fraction and as a decimal are:
 $ 29/5
 $ 0.58
