Answer:
The number next to 1 is 2.5.
It means 2.5 dimes are in 1 quarter (1 quarter = 2.5 dimes)
Step-by-step explanation:
The value next to 1 in the table above = number of dimes we have in 1 quarter.
Let the value next to 1 be "x".
That is:
1 quarter = x dimes
If 4 quarters = 10 dimes, then,
Cross multiply to find, how many dimes, x is equal to.
Thus:
1*10 = 4*x (cross multiplication)
10/4 = 4x/4 (dividing both sides by 4)
2.5 = x
The number next to 1 is 2.5.
It means 2.5 dimes are in 1 quarter (1 quarter = 2.5 dimes)
