Question

If 50 one-cent coins were stacked on top of each other in a column, the column would be approximately 3 7 8 inches tall. At this rate, which is the closest approximation of one-cent coins it would take to make an 8 inch tall column?

Answer 1

Answer:

approximately 61 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Total coins stacked = 50

height of column = 378 inches

approximate height of one coin = $\frac{50}{378}$

                                                     =0.132 inches

To make an 8 inches tall stack No of coins required will be

No of coins  = $\frac{total height}{height of one coin}$

                    = $\frac{8}{0.132}$

                    =60.60

                     ≅61 coins
