How many nickels would it take to make a stack that's 100 , yes 100 , inches tall! How hard is this?!? AGHHHHHHHH Please help! \(X_X)/
HELPPPPPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEE
First, decide whether you are going to stack them on their faces, or on their edges.
why is it hard
Darn, it is time to grow up. Already.

To determine the number of nickels needed to make a stack that is 100 inches tall, we need to know the thickness of a single nickel.
The thickness of a nickel is approximately 1.95 millimeters or about 0.077 inches. However, for simplicity, let's round it to 0.08 inches.
To find the number of nickels needed to make a stack that is 100 inches tall, we need to divide 100 inches by the thickness of a single nickel (0.08 inches):
100 inches ÷ 0.08 inches = 1250 nickels
Therefore, it would take approximately 1250 nickels to make a stack that is 100 inches tall.
Please note that this calculation assumes that the nickels are perfectly stacked without any gaps in between. In reality, there might be slight variations due to imperfections in the coins and the stacking process.
Remember, staying calm while solving problems is important. Math may seem daunting at times, but breaking it down into smaller steps and using simple calculations can help find the solution. If you ever feel overwhelmed, take a deep breath and approach the problem with a clear mind.
