Answer:
Maximum height of quarter tower = 9.6 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The thickness of a quarter = inches
Weight of a quarter = 1 ounce
The maximum weight that could safely hold = 3 pounds.

The number of quarter used in the tower = no of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds.
No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds =
No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = 48
So the height of quarter tower = 48 \times inches
