Question
The thickness of a rupee coin is 1.45 mm. What is the total height of the cylinder formed by placing 36 rupee coins one over the other? Write the answer in centimetres.
Answer

Thickness of 1 coin = 1.45 mm Total thickness of 36 coins = 36 × 1.45 = \(\frac{36 \times 145}{100}\) = \(\frac {5220}{100}\) = 52.2 mm Now 10 mm = 1 cm 1 mm = \(\frac {1}{10}\) cm ∴ 52.2 mm = \(\frac {52.2}{10}\) = 5.22 cm.
