ReplyDeleteCecelia-About $12 in quarters
ReplyDeleteGood estimation. How did you get $12?
DeleteI know that 4 quarters is a dollar and I counted how many groups of four there were.
DeleteAbout $10.
ReplyDeleteRina, Which one? Also, tell us how you got $10.
DeleteAbout $10 because 4 quarters = $1 and there is about $5 on each side
ReplyDeleteAbout 90cents, because the line is about 40cents and the curve is about 50 cents
Great thinking! We will post the answers on Monday!
DeleteI know that 40 quarters are in a quarter roll. 4 quarters equal one dollar. So 40 quarters divided by 4 equals $10.
