Aquarter is 1/5 of an inch thick and 5 quarters weigh one ounce. stephanie built a toothpick bridge that could safely hold 3 pounds. stephanie wanted to make a tall tower of quarters on her bridge. what is the highest her quarter tower could be and not go over 3 pounds?

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 conversion factor for ounce to pound is 1 ounce = 0.0625 pound

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

                                                   = 9.6 inches.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
