Q #2: A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are twice as many quarters as pennies, three times as many as nickels as pennies, and six times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than quarters?
A. 10 times as many
B. 5 times as many
C. 6 times as many
D. 9 times as many
Answer Explanation
In this task, we use the relation from the given scenario to compare the number of dimes to quarters.
If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 2p
Number of nickels in the bottle = 3p
Number of dimes in the bottle =6(3p)=18p
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have
Thus, there are 9 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.
