Jeremy collected nickels for one week. he is making stacks of his nickels to determine how many he has. the thickness of one nickel is 1/16 inch.
how tall is a stack of 16 nickels
(1/16) * 16 = ?
To determine the height of a stack of nickels, we need to multiply the thickness of one nickel by the number of nickels in the stack.
Given that the thickness of one nickel is 1/16 inch, and the stack consists of 16 nickels, we can calculate the height as follows:
Height of stack = Thickness of one nickel x Number of nickels
Height of stack = (1/16 inch) x 16 nickels
To simplify the calculation, we can express 1/16 as a decimal:
1/16 = 0.0625
Now we can substitute this value into the equation:
Height of stack = 0.0625 inch x 16 nickels
Height of stack = 1.00 inch
Therefore, a stack of 16 nickels would be 1 inch tall.
