Answer: Thickness of each penny is 1.52 mm.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pennies = 12

Height of stack = 18.24 millimeters

We need to find the thickness of each penny.

So, the thickness of each penny is given by


\frac{Height}{\text{Number of pennies}}\\\\=(18.24)/(12)\\\\=1.52\ mm

Hence, Thickness of each penny is 1.52 mm.
