As coins, they are already in their simplest ratio, since 25 and 38 don't have any common factor to divide by. (1 doesn't really count...)

As money, you need to multiply the 25 nickels x 5 cents per nickel, which gives you 125 cents,

and 38 dimes x 10 cents per dime, which gives you 380 cents.

So your new ratio is 125:380, which you can simplify by dividing each by 5, which gives you

25:76

SO, as money the ratio in simplest terms is 25:76. As numbers of coins, it's 25:38

If you think about it, it makes sense because:

10 cents is twice as much as 5 cents, and

76 cents is twice as much as 38 cents.

the conflict is the challenge the main character need to solve to achieve their goals, is the major literary element because creates challenges in the story by addin uncertainty to if the goal would be achieved. in the story could be more than a single conflict, in fact, most of the stories have a diversity of them. the resolution creates a closure that may or may not be the end of the story.

the basic types of conflict have been classified as "person againsta nature", "person against person" and "persona against self". nevertheless the basic types, some authors think that it could be more than only three types, for instance:

"person against society""person against machine""person against fate""person against the supernatural""person against god"

i´m gonna give you a little summary about the three basic types that i think are the one importants for the question

person against person

the confict involves stories where characters are against each other, is an external conflict, as in a gun fight or a robbery or it could be more subtle between the desires of the characters as in a love story. this type of conflict is very common in traditional literature, fairy tales and myths.

person against nature

is an external conflict between the character and an animal or a force of nature, like a tornado,a storm or even a rain. a great example of this is ernest hemingway´s "the old man and the sea" in which the main character struggle with a marlin when he was fishing.

person against self

in this case the conflict is internal, the character must overcome her or his own nature or make a choice between two paths.

i hope the answer is correct and you. regards

Which phrase in this excerpt from james joyce's "araby is a participial phrase? north richmond street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the christian brothers' school set the boys free. an uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. the other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces the former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room. air, musty from having been long enclosed, hung in all the rooms, and the waste room behind the kitchen was littered with old useless papers. among these i found a few paper-covered books, the pages of which were curled and damp: the abbot, by walter scott, the devout communicant and the memoirs of vidocq. i liked yellow. the wild garden behind the house contained a central apple-tree and a few straggling bushes under one of which i found the late tenant's rusty bicycle-pump. he had been a very charitable priest, in his will he had left all his money to institutions and the furniture of his house to his sister.
