well, if the expression is simply 12-2, then you would do simple subtraction and your answer would be 10. that would be simplest form. you cannot take it any simpler because there is nothing else left now. your answer would be 10.
The answer is fifteen (15)
Hope this helps!
Since the nickles are first and there are (1.00 /.05= 20) 20 nickles 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 <u>5 to 1 or 5:1</u> <u /><u />
