Final answer:

To determine the total thickness of a stack of 100 pennies, each 0.06 inches thick, multiply the thickness of one penny by the number of pennies, resulting in a stack 6.00 inches thick.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the thickness of a stack of 100 pennies, with each penny being 0.06 inches thick. To find the total thickness of 100 pennies, you multiply the thickness of one penny by the number of pennies in the stack:

Thickness of one penny × Number of pennies = Total thickness of the stack

0.06 inches × 100 = 6.00 inches.

Therefore, the correct answer is b) 6.00 inches.
