Question

James has 375 coins. One-fifth of the coins are quarters. How many of his coins are not quarters?

Answer 1

300 of his coins are not quarters. 

Answer 2

Hello!

Simply divide the total amount of coins by 5, because 1/5 of the coins are quarters.

375 ÷ 5 = 75

Subtract the amount of coins that are quarters (75) from the total amount of coins (375).

375 - 75 = 300

A N S W E R:

300 of James' coins are not quarters.
