Answer: Fraction of coins is either a dime or a quarter is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of nickles = 3
Number of dimes = 3
Number of quarters = 2
Total number of coins = 3+3+2 = 8
So, Fraction of coins is either a dime or a quarter is given by
[tex]\frac{3}{8}+\frac{2}{8}\\\\=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Hence, fraction of coins is either a dime or a quarter is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
