Question 215900: Rory claims: "I have $20 in quarters, half dollars, and one-dollar bills. I have twice as many quarters as half dollars, and half as many one-dollar bills as half dollars". Give a convincing argument to explain why he must be wrong? Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! See 215899
In a nutshell, you need to have whole numbers for the number of quarters, half-dollars and dollar bills and you come up with fractions instead.
