Would 5000 dimes make it across 100 yards and if not how many more is needed (Diameter of 1 dime is 17.91mm

Question

 Weight: 2.268 grams

  Diameter: 17.91 mm

  Thickness: 1.35 mm

If I lined up my 5,000 dimes (edge to edge) in a straight line would my line make it from one end zone to the other (100 yards) on a football field? Note: round your answer to the nearest dime, if necessary you want to go just over 100 yards, not under 100 yards.

If the answer to part A is no, how many more times do I need to get to the 100-yardmark? If the answer to part A is yes, how many extra dimes do I have?

Answer 1

17.91 mm x 5,000= 17910x5 = 89550mm= 89.55 meters,

= 8955 cm

=8955/2.54 in

= 8955/36(2.54) yds

= 8955/91.44 yds

= 97.9330709 yds < 100 yards

about 2 yards short of 100

2.06692913 yds short

1890 mm short

1890/17.91 = about 105.528

= about 105 1/2 dimes short of a touchdown

About $10.53 short

no guarantees theses calculations are error free

but use the following, as above

1 yard = 36 inches

one inch =25.4 mm
