Question

1. circle the greater money value in each box. $0.45 or half a dollar

two toonies or $2.00 $1.15 or four quarters
twenty dimes or a loonie

Explanation:

Step1: Convert half a dollar to decimal

Half a dollar is $0.50$. Since $0.50>0.45$, half a dollar is greater.

Step2: Find value of two toonies

A toonie is $2$ dollars, so two toonies is $2\times2 = 4$ dollars. Since $4>2$, two toonies is greater.

Step3: Find value of four quarters

A quarter is $0.25$ dollars, four quarters is $4\times0.25=1$ dollar. Since $1.15 > 1$, $1.15$ is greater.

Step4: Find value of twenty dimes and a loonie

A dime is $0.10$ dollars, twenty dimes is $20\times0.10 = 2$ dollars. A loonie is $1$ dollar. Since $2>1$, twenty dimes is greater.

Answer:

half a dollar, two toonies, $1.15$, twenty dimes
