A nickel is 1/16 of an inch thick.Carrie has 7 nickels,what is the thickness of her 7 nickels?
7 times 1/16 = ?
7/16=0.4375
To find the thickness of Carrie's 7 nickels, we need to multiply the thickness of one nickel by the number of nickels she has.
The thickness of one nickel is given as 1/16 of an inch.
So, to find the thickness of 7 nickels, we can multiply 7 by 1/16:
7 * (1/16)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and then multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together:
7/1 * 1/16
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
7/16
Therefore, the thickness of Carrie's 7 nickels is 7/16 of an inch.
To find the thickness of Carrie's 7 nickels, we need to multiply the thickness of one nickel by the total number of nickels she has.
Since one nickel is 1/16 of an inch thick, we can set up the following equation:
Thickness of 7 nickels = (Thickness of 1 nickel) * (Number of nickels)
Thickness of 7 nickels = (1/16 inch) * (7 nickels)
To simplify this equation, we can multiply the fractions:
Thickness of 7 nickels = 7/16 inch
Therefore, the thickness of Carrie's 7 nickels is 7/16 inch.
