How much is 5 quarters and 8 dimes?

 2.05 dollars

Work Shown:

1 quarter = 25 cents

5 quarters = 125 cents multiply both sides by 5

1 dime = 10 cents

8 dimes = 80 cents multiply both sides by 8

(5 quarters) + (8 dimes) = (125 cents) + (80 cents) = 205 cents

205 cents = 205/100 = 2.05 dollars

Another way to approach the problem is to compute

5*25 + 8*10 = 205

that's the total number of cents

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

$35.59 in pounds
