Reggie has $36.40 in nickels and $36.40 in dimes. what is the ratio of the number of nickels to the number of dimes that reggie has?
a
1: 1, because the dollar totals of both coins are the same

b
1: 2, because a dime is worth twice as much as a nickel

c
1: 5, because a dime is worth 5 cents more than a nickel

d
2: 1, because a dime is worth twice as much as a nickel

D 2:1, because a dime is worth twice as much as a nickel

Because the question has number of nickels listed first in the ratio that makes the answer 2:1 as opposed to B 1:2. Also, two nickels equal the same amount as one dime so for every two nickels there is one dime. In this case, there are 728 nickels and 364 dimes. 728/364 = 2/1 (simplifies down to the fourth ratio given)
