Question

If the thickness of a quarter coin (25 cents) is 1/16"" what is the height of a stack containing 7 quarters

Answer 1

The height of the stack will be 0.4375 inches i.e.
`(7)/(16)` inches.

Explanation:

Given that the thickness of a quarter coin (25 cents) is
`(1)/(16)` inches.

So, in decimal, the thickness of each quarter will be 0.0625 inches.

Now, if there is a stack of 7 quarters one upon the other, then the height of the stack will be (0.0625 × 7) = 0.4375 inches i.e.
`(7)/(16)` inches.
