Problem: how many pennies can fit into a 4ft10in by 2ft space
I have a 4'10length by 2'wide space and im trying to fill it with pennies
You need to know the diameter of a penny. The diameter of the U.S. penny
is 0.75 inches. Divide both the length and the width of the space by 0.75
to find out how many pennies will fit along each side.
4' 10" = 58 inches
58/0.75 = 77.33333, or 77 1/3
We can ignore the 1/3 of a penny.
2' = 24 inches
24/0.75 = 32
To get the total number of pennies that will fit
in that area, multiply 77 by 32.
77 * 32 = 2,464
You can put 2,464 pennies into the space.
