Final answer:
To calculate the height of a stack of quarters, multiply the thickness of one quarter by the number of quarters. The thickness of one quarter is 1.8 x 10^-3 meters, and there are 5.4 x 10^4 quarters. The total height is 9.72 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to finding the height of a stack of U.S. quarters when provided with the individual thickness of a quarter and the total number of quarters in the stack. Assuming there is a typo in the question pertaining to the unit of the thickness (should be meters, not 1.8 x 10 which is incomplete), we can proceed to calculate the height with the given data:
To find the total height of the stack, we multiply the thickness of one quarter by the total number of quarters:
Height of the stack = (Thickness of one quarter) x (Number of quarters)
= (1.8 x 10-3 m) x (5.4 x 104)
= (1.8 x 5.4) x (101) meters
= 9.72 x 10 meters.
Hence, the total height of the stack is 9.72 meters.
