Answer:
It takes 62863 dimes to equal the height of the Statue of Liberty.
Explanation:
If the Statue of Liberty is 305 ft tall and a coin is 1.35mm thick, how many coins will it take to equal the height of the statue?
Convert 305 ft to mm:
1 ft = 30.48 cm
305 ft = 9296.4 cm
92 964 mm
Now, if a dime is 1.35 mm thick, how many dimes will it take to get to 92 964 mm?
1 dime = 1.35mm
X dimes = 92964 mm
X coins = 92964 / 1.35
X = 62863 dimes
