I suggest you measure the quarter, then divide the distance from Earth to Sun (150 million kilometers) by this distance. You should convert both units to a common unit first, for example, convert everything to meters, or to millimeters.
s lot of it
According to the US Mint, the quarter dollar is 1.75mm thick.1.75mm x 1cm/10mm = 0.175cmSave0.175cm x 1in/2.54cm = 0.0689in1in/0.0689in = 14.5 quarters to make a stack 1 in highObviously you can't stack 14.5 quarters. 15 quarters makes a stack 1.03in high. 14 quarters make a stack 0.965in high.
100 trillion
A foot is 12*25.4 mm and a quarter is 1.75 mm thick so you will need 12*25.4/1.75 quarters = 174.2 of them.
Do you still need the answer? There is a way to work it
To determine which is more valuable, we need to consider the weight and height of an average person. A pile of pennies equaling your weight would be worth around $1.00 for every 2.5 pounds, while a stack of quarters equaling your height would be worth approximately $20 for every inch. Since the average person weighs around 170 pounds and is about 5 feet 7 inches tall, the stack of quarters would likely be worth significantly more than the pile of pennies. Therefore, the stack of quarters is more valuable.
Because there are 4 quarters in $1, you can conclude that there are 20 quarters in $5. You would need 21 quarters to get $5.25.
You need 7 quarters, which works out at 1.75 in total.
You could do it with 53 quarters and 8 dimes. Many other combinations are possible.
It would take approximately 1.3 trillion pennies stacked on top of each other to reach the moon, assuming the average height of a stacked penny is 0.75 inches.
You will need 960 US quarters to equal 12 pounds in weight.
