Answer:
The number of quarters is about [tex]16,713\ quarters[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The diameter of a quarter is 0.9055 in
The moon is 384,403 km from earth
To find out the number of quarters, divide the distance of the Moon from the Earth by the diameter of one quarter
step 1
Convert inches to kilometers
[tex]1\ in=2.54*10^{-5}\ km[/tex]
[tex]0.9055\ in=0.9055*2.54*10^{-5}=2.3*10^{-5}\ km[/tex]
step 2
Find the number of quarters
[tex]384,403/2.3*10^{-5}=16,713\ quarters[/tex]
