That can't be. About half of your coins are quarters. Yet you say that almost three-fourths of your coins are state quarters. No way!
Try this and see if you get a more reasonable answer.
(13/25) * (2/3) = ?
Of the coins in my collection, 13/25 are quarters. Of these quarters 2/3 are state quarters. What fraction of my coins are state quarters?
I think I need to divide 13/25 by 2/3 and my answer will be 39/50. Is this correct. Thank you for your help.
