Question

A pile of magazines is 4 feet high. If each magazine is 3/4 of an inch thick, the number of magazines in the pile is

A: 36
B: 48
C: 64
D: 96

Answer 1

We can first convert the height of the pile to inches:
4 feet = 4 x 12 inches = 48 inches

Then, we can divide the height of the pile by the thickness of each magazine:
48 inches ÷ (3/4) inches/magazine = 64 magazines

Therefore, the answer is C: 64.
