Quick EASY POINTS!?

Here's a random math question:





James has a coin collection that is 1/4 pennies and 1/5 quarters. If the number of coins in the collection is C, write an expression that describes the number of pennies. Wirte a second expression to describe the number of quarters.

Quick EASY POINTS!?
pennies=1/4C


quarters=1/5C
Reply:for Quarters: 1/5= C - 1/4


for Pennies: 1/4= C - 1/5
Reply:C - 1/5 = 1/4





C - 1/4 = 1/5
Reply:-C - 1/5 = 1/4


--C - 1/4 = 1/5
