Answer by macston(5194)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the ratio of nickels is 3:4, 3 of seven coins are nickels.
With 28 coins, there are 4 groups of seven, thus 12 nickels.
If 12 of 28 coins are nickels, 16 are dimes.
.
16($0.10)=$1.60
.
ANSWER: The value of the dimes is $1.60.
