    8 groups

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Find the total number of coins

    Number of nickels: 104 nickels

    Number of dimes: 88 dimes

    104+88 = 192

    Step 2: Find the ratio of nickels to dimes

    Nickels : Dimes

    104 : 88

    13 : 11

    Step 3: Find the total number of coins each group will get

    13+11 = 24

    Each group will get 24 coins; 13 nickels and 11 dimes

    Step 4: Find the number of groups that can have the same combination of coins

    Total coins/coins each group will get = number of groups

    192/24 = 8

    Therefore, there will be 8 groups who will have the same number of nickels and dimes.
