Question

Jeff has 20 coins. 2/5 of them are quarters. How many quarters does he have? How many coins are not quarters?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 of them are quarters
12 of them aren’t quarters

Explanation:

Convert 2/5 to a percentage

2/5 = 40/100 = 40%

Then find out 40% of 20 coins

Change 20 into 0.20

Then 40% x 0.20 = 8

so he has 8 quarters

and 12 of them aren’t quarters
