Just measure the width (or height, if you'll be stacking the pennies
a mile high) of a penny, then divide 5280 feet by whatever you find.
This is a great activity for a class, and in fact a good way to start
the project. First take one penny, and work out an answer. Then get
100 pennies, and measure them; do the same calculation to see how many
pennies it will take to make a mile. There will probably be a
difference, because you can measure 100 pennies more accurately than a
single penny. Or maybe you have a micrometer that will measure one
penny precisely. Which is better can be a good discussion starter. And
don't forget to try it in metric, too.
Just to illustrate, using a very rough estimate of a penny's width,
let's say a penny is about 3/4 inch wide. The number of pennies in a
mile will be
5280 ft 12 in 1 penny
1 mile * ------- * ----- * ------- = 5280 * 12 * 4/3 pennies
1 mi 1 ft 3/4 in
This gives about 84,480 pennies. (This method of doing calculations
with units is very helpful, and would be worth teaching.)
If we measure 100 pennies as 6 ft 1 in, we will get
5280 ft 100 pennies
1 mile * ------- * ----------- = 5280 * 100 * 12 / 73 pennies
1 mi 6 1/12 ft
This gives us 86794.5205 pennies in a mile.

im not so sure tbh its a lil confusing dont they tell how many years its been?
Answer:
Z score associated with sleeping 503 minutes = 0 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given values of sleep per night for adults:
Mean value X = 503
Standard deviation σ = s
FInd:
Z score associated with sleeping 503 minutes
Computation:
⇒ P[X = 503]
⇒ P[(x - X) / σ] = [503 - 503] / s
⇒ Z score value = [0] / s
⇒ Z score value = 0
Z score associated with sleeping 503 minutes = 0 minutes
