1. The first challenge to complete is the Penny Problem. The radio station is giving the winner of this challenge a prize pack that includes tickets to see his or her favorite band in concert. To start off the challenge, the radio station has placed pennies in a cylindrical glass jar. Each penny is 0.75 inches in diameter and 0.061 inches thick. If the cylindrical glass jar containing the pennies has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 11.5 inches, how many pennies can fit inside the jar? You must show all work to receive credit.
The answer I got was 1,508. Because: 6/0.75=8 11.5/0.061=188.524 188.524x8=1508.19.... So the answer would be 1,508. I'm not 100% sure if that is correct though.. Do have any answer choices? Also..please give me a medal of my answer was helpful..if it wasn't then just let me know and i will see what I can do for ya!!
