A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.
Answer:
142240
Explanation:
We are told in the question:
Height of Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO = 630ft
We are asked, how many U.S. dimes would be in a stack of the same
height when 1 dime is 1.35 mm thick.
Step 1
Convert height in ft to mm
1 ft = 304.8 mm
630ft =
Cross Multiply
630ft × 304.8mm/1ft
= 192024 mm.
Step 2
To find how many US dimes would be in a stack of the same height
= Total thickness/ Thickness of 1 US dime
= 192024 mm/1.35mm
= 142240
Therefore, the number of dimes that would be in a stack of the same
height is 142240
