If you have 5 dollars and want to know how many dimes are in that amount, here’s how you can figure it out.
A dime is worth 10 cents. Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, you can calculate the number of dimes in 5 dollars by dividing the total cents by the value of a dime.
First, convert 5 dollars to cents:
5 dollars × 100 cents/dollar = 500 cents
Next, divide the total cents by the value of a dime:
500 cents ÷ 10 cents/dime = 50 dimes
So, there are 50 dimes in 5 dollars.
