Here are several types of objects. For each type of object, estimate how many there are in a stack that is 5 feet high. Be prepared to explain your reasoning

We need to estimate how tall is, on average, one of these object, and then count how many would be in a 5 feet high stack.

For example, on Google you may see that "1.5 cubic foot boxes are the standard box, manufactured by most companies". So, we assume that a standard cardboard box is 1.5 feet tall.

So, if we set the equation

So, there would be between 3 and 4 cardboard boxes in a 5 feet tall stack.

Similarly, we can see that the average book is 9 inches tall. 9 inches are 0.75

feet, so we have

So, there would be between 6 and 7 books in a 5 feet tall stack.

The average brick is 75 millimeters tall, which means 0.25 feet tall. Again, we have

So, there would be 20 bricks in a 5 feet tall stack.

Finally, a coin is about 0.006 feet, which leads to

So, there would be between 833 and 834 coins in a 5 feet tall stack.
