Elsie has 2 dimes. Tyler has four coins with the same value. Write the coins Tyler has.
Describe how a dime and a nickel are related.
To determine the coins that Tyler has, we need to understand that a dime is worth 10 cents. If Elsie has 2 dimes, she has a total of 20 cents (2 dimes x 10 cents/dime). Tyler has four coins with the same value, so we divide the total value of Elsie's coins (20 cents) by 4 to find the value of each coin Tyler has.
To find the value of each coin, we divide 20 cents by 4, which gives us 5 cents. Therefore, each of Tyler's coins is worth 5 cents.
Now that we know each of Tyler's coins has a value of 5 cents, we can write the coins that Tyler has. Given that Tyler has four coins, we can represent them as:
1. Coin 1: 5 cents
2. Coin 2: 5 cents
3. Coin 3: 5 cents
4. Coin 4: 5 cents
So Tyler has four coins, each worth 5 cents.
