b. what does the value next to 1 mean in this situation? use decimal notation.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of toonies to quarters

We know that 16 quarters = 2 toonies, so the ratio of toonies to quarters is $\frac{2}{16}=\frac{1}{8}$.

Step2: Calculate number of toonies for 1 quarter

If the ratio is $\frac{1}{8}$, for 1 quarter, the number of toonies is $1\times\frac{1}{8}=0.125$.

Step3: Calculate number of toonies for 20 quarters

For 20 quarters, the number of toonies is $20\times\frac{1}{8}=\frac{20}{8}=2.5$.

Step4: Calculate number of toonies for 24 quarters

For 24 quarters, the number of toonies is $24\times\frac{1}{8}=3$.

Answer:

Number of Quarters	Number of Toonies
16	2
20	2.5
24	3

b. The value 0.125 next to 1 (quarter) means that 1 quarter is worth 0.125 toonies. In other words, one - eighth of a toonie has the same value as 1 quarter.
