mmmhmmm fractions and decimals in the same equation well id pick decimals
(1/3)=.33
use substitution
hmmm not making sense ima do guess in check cause u cant have 14.14 quarters
if dollar coins are 1/3 that of the quarters then there ar 3 quarters for every dollar coin
1.75 +1.75+1.75+1.75+1.75
5 +(.75*5)
5+3.75
8.75 this would be 5=c and 15=q
or 7.00 which is 4=c 12=q
....not 8.25
well eather your teacher is an idiot or your book/worksheet is incorrect, or you have copied the question incorrectly as this problem has no answer.
