Answer:
The probability of picking a nickel or a dime is 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have the same amount of nickels and dimes we can cancel them out. That would make it a 50% chance to get one or the other, or, a 1&1 chance, but since there is 8 coins all together there is a chance to pull out 2 nickels or 2 dimes. 4 possibilities.
1. 1 nickel 1 dime
2. 2 dimes
3. 2 nickels
4. 1 dime 1 nickel
4 x 25% = 100%
each possibility has a 25% chance to happen
