Ahmed cannot have total of 30 coins in his pocket
Solution:
Given that,
There are 5 pennies for every 6 quarters in Ahmed's pocket
We are asked if Ahmed can have a total of 30 coins in his pocket
From given,
5 pennies for every 6 quarters
Therefore, ratio is:
penny : quarter = 5 : 6
Total = 5 + 6 = 11
Then the total number of coins must be multiple of 11
But 30 is not a multiple of 11
Therefore, Ahmed cannot have total of 30 coins in his pocket
