Jeremy collected nickels for 1 week. He is making stacks of his nickels to determine how many he has. The thickness of 1 nickel is 1/16 inches.
-How tall is a stack of 16 nickels?
-What is the combined height of 3 nickels, 2 nickels, and 1 nickel?
I NEED HELP!!!!!!!:D @(+___+)@
We know that one nickel is 1/16 inches thick. This means that 16 nickels are:
(16*1)/16 =1
So, a stack of 16 nickels is one inch tall.
Let us look at the second question:
3 nickels are 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/16 inches. When adding fractions with the same denominator (The number below the fraction line), you an simply add the numerators (the number above the fraction line)
this means the height of the stak of three nickels is 3/16 inches.
We do the same for two nickels and get the stack height of 2/16 inches (you can also divide by 2 and get 1/8, but there is no need here)
Let's put it all together:
3/16 + 2/16 + 1/16 = 6/16 inches.
Both 6 and 16 can be divided by 2. Let's do that:
6/16 inches = 3/8 inches.
THANKS SO MUCH A.P!!!!!I OWE U 1!:) :D ;) ;D
16 * 1/16 = 16/16 = 1 inch
I'll be glad to check your answers to the other question.
