Here is my math problem:

I have 15 quarters and 10 nickles. A juice costs 35 cents. I used 2/3 of the quarters and 3/5 of the nickles. How many juices can I buy??

I have already figured out the I used 10 quarters and 6 nickles. I'm sure I can figure out the answer but I need to figure it in a math problem.

Ok, if you used 10 quarters and 6 nickels, how much money is that?

And if ONE juice costs 35 cents, couldn't you divide the amount of money you spent by 35 cents, ( or $0.35) to find out how many juices you bought?

I'm not sure what "I need to figure it in a math problem" means, exactly.
 
10 quarters=$2.50 6 nickles=$0.30 ($2.80) Altogether.


What do you mean by a math problem?

total Money used ($2.80)/cost of juice ($0.35)=Number of juices.

m/j=n

This help you any :?:
