That's a trick question with at least 3 answers:
If you're referring to modern (1965 or later) dimes the answer is zero because all circulating dimes issued since then are made of cupronickel, not silver.
If you're referring to 1964 and earlier, these coins weighed 2.5 gm and were 90% fine so they had 2.25 gm of pure silver. For these coins:
> a standard American ounce is 28.35 gm, so 28.35 / 2.25 = 12.6 dimes.
> a troy ounce (used for precious metals) is 31.11 gm so 31.11 / 2.25 = 13.8 dimes

Less than 2. A silver dollar is 94% of a normal ounce, and 85% of a troy ounce. Keep in mind that this is for the entire coin, only 90% of it is silver with the remaining 10% being copper.
