well there are 4 quarters in a dollar, so i set it up as proportions::
("---" just is so i can make spaces to move the q and 4 over on this site)
40.00 ------- q
_____ X _____
1.00 ------- 4
(q stands for quarters, since you are trying to see how many quarters in $40)
do cross multiplication
so::
40 x 4=160
1q=160
q=160
so you save 160 quarters
you can check your answer to make sure you are right
160 x .25
which equals 40
:)

4 quarters in dollar
40 dollars
40 x 4 = 160
because 4 x 4 = 16 ; add a zero at the end from the 40$
160 quarters

About 160 quarters. You divided 40.00 by .25. Move your decimals 2 places in both figures. Then divide by 4000 by 25. It would come out to 160 quarters in all.

Each dollar is worth 4 quarters.
$40 * 4 = 160 quarters.
