Question

the height of the gateway arch show on the missouri quarter is 630 feet, or 7,560 inches. find how many 4-inch stacks for quarters make up the height of the gateway arch. if theres 58 quarters in a 4-inch stack, how many quarters high is the arch?

Answer 1

To find how many stacks of quarters there are we must divide 7,560 by 4.

7,560 / 4 = 1,890

There are 1,890 4-inch stacks. To find how many quarters are in all the stacks, we multiple 1,890 by 58.

1,890 * 58 = 102,060

The arch is 102,060 quarters high
