Answer 1

Camel back Mountain = 15,168 inches (1,264 feet)
1 Penny = 0.061 (.0610) Inches
10 Penny = 0.61 (.610) Inches
100 Penny = 6.1 (6.10) Inches
1,000 Penny = 61 (61.0) Inches
10,000 Penny = 610 (610.0) Inches
-SOLVING-
10,000 Penny = 610 inches PLUS
1,000 Penny = 61 inches AND 61 inches x 5 = 305 (5,000 Penny)
100 Penny = 6.1 inches PLUS
10 Penny = 0.61 inches AND 0.61 inches x 6 = 3.66 (60 Penny)
1 Penny = 0.061 inches AND 0.061 inches x 8 = 0.488 (8 Penny)
-FINAL ANSWER-
610 + 305 + 6.1 + 3.66 + 0.488 = 925.248 Penny it would take.
