We are taking a flight today in a helicopter. Unlike an airplane, a helicopter can fly straight up, down, sideways, and backward! Chopper the Duck is our helicopter guide in this lesson. Let’s fly!
Question:
What is the value of 5 pennies, 2 nickels, and 1 dime?
You got it! It is 25¢.
5 pennies = 5¢, 2 nickels = 10¢, and 1 dime = 10¢.
Add the value of the coins together to find the total, 10¢ + 10¢ + 5¢ = 25¢.
Let’s take flight with Chopper the Duck to find combinations of coins that are equal to quarters.
