Anita has 2 quarters 1 nickel and 4 pennies. Write Anita's total amount as a fraction of a dollar

Well, first off, you should know that the denominator of the fraction will be $1.00, since we're putting it in a fraction as a dollar.

2 quarters = $0.50

1 nickel = $0.05

4 pennies = $0.04

Now, we add them all together ...

$0.50 + $0.05 + $0.04 = $0.59

The answer is $0.59 over $1.00. (This is in fraction form ... $0.59 is the numerator (the top number) and $1.00 is the denominator (the bottom number).)

So 2 Quarters = $0.50 cents, and 1 nickel, = $0.05 cents, 4 pennies = $ 0.04 cents so if you add all of them together you get ... $0.59 so you fraction is 59 over 100 or 59/100 And if you add them it is cents NOT dollars
