You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If I have 6 coins and half are quarters,
Half of 6 is 3.  So you have 3 quarters, and that is 75 cents.

one third are nickels
one third of 6 is 2. So you have 2 nickels, and that is 10 cents.

and one sixth are dimes, 
one sixh of 6 is 1. So you have 1 dime, and that is 10 cents.

how much money do I have in all?
You have 75 cents plus 10 cents plus 10 cents = 75+10+10 = 95 cents.
