A dime is 1.25 mm thick. How many meters high would a stack of dimes worth $50 be?

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

Okay, so if you know there are 500 dimes in $50 what do you think you have to do here?

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

\[1.25\times500\]

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

A meter is 3.281 ft tall.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

Did you do that problem yet?

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

12inches is 304.8mm

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

Sorry if I'm making this turn into a long problem for you

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

\[1.25\times500=625\] There is 2ft with .05 leftover.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

So about 2/3 of a meter I believe. @ganeshie8 can explain this better. I think I may have mixed up a bit

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

How many meters high

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

question is asking to put the answer in "meters" only right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(1.25\times500=625 mm = \frac{625}{1000} m\)
