Hi there! :)
Answer:
Jaime has 30 dimes in his pocket.
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, you need to know that:
A quarter is equal to = $0.25
A dime is equal to = $0.10
Jaime has 6 quarters, which means that he has 6 times $0.25:
6 × 0.25 = $1.50
Jaime has a total of $4.50 → Subtract the amout of money represented by the quarters and you'll be left with the amout of money represented by the dimes:
4.50 - 1.50 = $3
Jaime has $3 worth of dimes in his pocket. In order to know how many dimes $3 represents, you'll need to divide "3" by 0.10, which is what 1 dime is worth:
3 ÷ 0.10 = 30 → YOUR ANSWER
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
