+44 A stack of 45 dimes is divided into three piles in the ratio 1/6 : 1/3 : 1/4. How many dimes are in the pile with the least number of dimes?
+1253 The ratio 1/6 : 1/3 : 1/4 is also, when you multiply by 12, 2 : 4 : 3.
2+4+3 = 9 and 45 / 9 equals 5. The pile with the least is 5*2 = 10 dimes.
You are very welcome!
