Question

Jane has 5 nickels. John has 3 dimes. Jane says she has a greater amount of money. With the information given, is she correct?

Answer 1

• Dimes are 10 cents each, so 3 dimes is 30 cents. (3 x 10 = 30)

• Nickels are 5 cents each, so 5 nickels equals 25 cents. (5 x 5 = 25)

30 > 25

So, Jane is wrong.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer 2

No she's wrong because a nickel is 5 cents so 5 times 5 is 25 cents and a dime is 10 cents so 10 times 3 is 30 cents so john has more money
