Answer 2

The required ratio is 1:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of the number of 5 p coins to the number of 10 p coins = 2:3

Let the number of 10p coins be '3x'.

Value of 5p coins $=5p\times 2x=10px$

Value of 10p coins = $10p\times 3x=30px$

So, the ratio of value of 5p coins to the value of 10p coins is given by
