Answer 1

Explanation:

Heather

Dimes. 6× .10

add .10 for the pennies

for a total of .70

Jason had three quarters and the value of quarters is .25

multiply .25 by 3. since he has 3 quarters and you get .75

Jason has more money.

Answer 2

Jason

Explanation:

A quarter is 25 cents, pennies are one cent, dimes are 10. 6 dimes are 60 cents plus the ten pennies equals 70 cents, 35 times 3 is 75. 75 is more than 70. So therefore, Jason has more money.
