2 quaters = how many nikels

1 answer

To convert quarters to nickels, follow these steps:

1. Understand that one quarter is equal to 25 cents, and one nickel is equal to 5 cents.
2. Calculate the total amount in cents for the two quarters: \(2 \text{ quarters} \times 25 \text{ cents/quarter} = 50 \text{ cents}\).
3. Determine how many nickels are in 50 cents by dividing the total cents by the value of one nickel: \(50 \text{ cents} \div 5 \text{ cents/nickel} = 10 \text{ nickels}\).

So, 2 quarters equal 10 nickels.
