It's your 16th birthday. You've been given 1 penny every second since you were born. You want to use all that money to buy gold to make rings for your classmates. How many rings can you make? Useful information: 1 ring = 1.3 mL of gold, 1 gram of gold = $58, density of gold is 19.3 grams/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you're 16, you have to calculate how many seconds you've lived.

16 years × 31,536,000= 504,576,000 pennies.

504,576,000÷58 (for the amount of gold) = 8699586.2069 grams

Then go on from there. Hope that helped!
