Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The ratio of zacharies nickels to dimes to quarters is 3 : 2 : 1.Step-by-step explanation:Given:Zachary has coins of the coins 3/6 are nickels, 2/6 dimes, rest are quarters.Now, to get the ratio of zacharies nickels, to dimes to quarters.So, as given dimes and nickels we find the quarters to get the ratio:[tex]\frac{3}{6} -\frac{2}{6}=\frac{3-2}{6} =\frac{1}{6}[/tex].Thus, the quarters are 1/6.Now, getting the ratio of the coins:Nickels = 3/6 Γ— 6 = 3Dimes = 2/6 Γ— 6 = 2Quarters = 1/6 Β Γ— 6 = 1Nickels : Dimes : Quarters = 3 : 2 : 1.Therefore, the ratio of zacharies nickels to dimes to quarters is 3 : 2 : 1.
