what is the value of the 5 in the diameter of a half dollar?

Sagot :

 Most coins show a lot of wear and are valued at $8.00-$9.00 the better grades run $20.00-$30.00

we know that

The diameter of a half dollar is equal to [tex] 1.205\ inches[/tex]

[tex] 1.205=1+2*(0.1)+5*(0.001)\\1.205=1+0.2+0.005[/tex]

so

The value of the [tex] 5 [/tex] in the diameter is equal to [tex] 0.005 [/tex]

and

[tex] 0.005 [/tex] is equal to say [tex] 5\ thousandths[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex] 0.005 [/tex] or  [tex] 5\ thousandths[/tex]
