To create a tape diagram, you can visually represent the ratio of dimes to quarters.
If the ratio is 3 to 2, you can divide the tape into 5 equal parts (3 parts for dimes and 2 parts for quarters). Each part represents one unit of the ratio.
Now, mark 15 sections for dimes (3 parts x 5 sections per part) and 10 sections for quarters (2 parts x 5 sections per part). This visually shows the distribution of dimes and quarters.
To find the number of quarters, count the sections allocated to quarters, which is 10 in this case. Therefore, there are 10 quarters.
