Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are converting the value of30 quarters to the equivalent value in nickels. . The value of a quarter is25 cents.
3. The value of a nickel is5 cents.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the total value of the30 quarters. We can do this by multiplying the number of quarters by the value of each quarter.
Totalvalueinquarters=NumberofquarterstimesValueofeachquarterTotal\, value\, in\, quarters = Number\, of\, quarters \\times Value\, of\, each\, quarter

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of quarters and the value of each quarter to calculate the total value in quarters.
Totalvalueinquarters=30times25centsTotal\, value\, in\, quarters =30 \\times25\, cents

STEP 4

Calculate the total value in quarters.
Totalvalueinquarters=30times25cents=750centsTotal\, value\, in\, quarters =30 \\times25\, cents =750\, cents

STEP 5

Now that we have the total value in quarters, we can find the equivalent value in nickels. This can be done by dividing the total value in quarters by the value of each nickel.
Equivalentvalueinnickels=Totalvalueinquarters/ValueofeachnickelEquivalent\, value\, in\, nickels = Total\, value\, in\, quarters / Value\, of\, each\, nickel

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the total value in quarters and the value of each nickel to calculate the equivalent value in nickels.
Equivalentvalueinnickels=750cents/5centsEquivalent\, value\, in\, nickels =750\, cents /5\, cents

STEP 7

Calculate the equivalent value in nickels.
Equivalentvalueinnickels=750cents/5cents=150nickelsEquivalent\, value\, in\, nickels =750\, cents /5\, cents =150\, nickelsSo,30 quarters is equivalent to150 nickels.
