Question

Maddie has 180 coins. Of these coins 1/12 are dimes. About how many dimes does she have?

Answer 1

`15`

Explanation:

You can interpret the fraction `1/12` as "one part every twelve#. So, if you divide the whole number of coins into twelve parts, then one of these parts will be entirely composed by dimes.

So, you simply need to compute `180/12=15`
