The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO is approximately 630 ft tall. How many U. S. dimes would be in a stack of the same height? Each dime is 1.35 mm thick.

142240

Explanation:

We are told in the question:

Height of Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO = 630ft

We are asked, how many U.S. dimes would be in a stack of the same

height when 1 dime is 1.35 mm thick.

Step 1

Convert height in ft to mm

1 ft = 304.8 mm

630ft =

Cross Multiply

630ft × 304.8mm/1ft

= 192024 mm.

Step 2

To find how many US dimes would be in a stack of the same height

= Total thickness/ Thickness of 1 US dime

= 192024 mm/1.35mm

= 142240

Therefore, the number of dimes that would be in a stack of the same

height is 142240
