Answer:

Maximum height of quarter tower = 9.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The thickness of a quarter = \frac{1}{5} inches

Weight of a quarter = 1 ounce

The maximum weight that could safely hold = 3 pounds.

<u>The conversion factor for ounce to pound is 1 ounce = 0.0625 pound</u>

The number of quarter used in the tower = no of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds.

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = \frac{3}{0.0625}

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = 48

So the height of quarter tower = 48 \times \frac{1}{5} inches

                                                   = 9.6 inches.
