Of the coins Simone’s collection 23/25 are quarters and if those 2/7 are state quarters. How many state quarters does he have? And can you tell me why you have to mutiply?

Answer 1

23/25= 92% quarters

2/7 are state quarters

2/7 x 23/25 = 46/175 are state quarters

you can virtually translate "of" as "times" in math language or symbols

or division, 3 of 8=3/8

division is a type of multiplication. 3/8 = 3 x 1/8
