Question

Higher order Thinking A stack of `10^2` pennies is 6.1 inches tall. A stack of `10^2` dimes is 5.3 inches tall. How much taller is a stack of 10 pennies than a stack of 10 dimes?

Answer 1

`0.61-0.53 = 0.08` inches

Explanation:

`10^2 = 10xx10 =100`

`100` pennies have a height of `6.1` inches.
`10` pennies will have a height that is `1/10` of the height of `100`

`10` pennies have a height of `0.61` inches.

In the same way, `10` dimes have a height of `5.3/10 = 0.53` inches.

The difference in height is `0.61-0.53 = 0.08` inches
