Answer: 242,288,640,000 pennies
Explanation:
A penny is about 1/16 of an inch and the distance between the Earth and the moon is 239,000 miles.
The distance needs to be converted to inches.
1 mile is about 5,280 feet and 1 feet is about 12 inches.
239,000 miles in inches is;
= 239,000 * 5,280 * 12
= 15,143,040,000 inches.
A penny is 1/16 of an inch so it would take;
= 15,143,040,000 * 16
= 242,288,640,000 pennies
