you have 3 quarters,7 dimes,and 5 nickels in your pocket.a coin is chosen at random.what is the best answer for the propability of drawing a quarter?

Answer 1

3/15 = 1/5 = 2/10 = 0.20

Answer 2

If I am understanding the problem correctly, these are the numbers of coins that we have,

3 Quarters
7 Dimes
5 Nickels

So we have 15 coins in total.
Therefore, if we choose a coin at random, we have a 3 / 15 chance of choosing a quarter. This probability simplifies to 1 / 5 or 20%.
