<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hairy Houdini, post: 25656153, member: 97506&quot;]And we did a little math experiment. I had everyone guess how many quarters were in the Tupperware bowl. Then I got a scale, weighed a few of the quarters, and entered the weights into an Excel spreadsheet. I tried to post an image, but couldn&#039;t get it to work. This is the best I could do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Number of Coins Weight Weight /100 Weight Each Estimated Count</p><p>1 6 g 600 g 6.000 g 299.17</p><p>2 11 g 550 g 5.500 g 326.36</p><p>3 17 g 567 g 5.667 g 316.76</p><p>5 27 g 540 g 5.400 g 332.41</p><p>10 57 g 570 g 5.700 g 314.91</p><p>15 86 g 573 g 5.733 g 313.08</p><p>20 113 g 565 g 5.650 g 317.70</p><p>25 142 g 568 g 5.680 g 316.02</p><p>30 171 g 570 g 5.700 g 314.91</p><p>50 285 g 570 g 5.700 g 314.91</p><p>75 427 g 569 g 5.693 g 315.28</p><p>100 569 g 569 g 5.690 g 315.47</p><p>Averages </p><p>567.61 g 5.676 g 316.42 </p><p><br /></p><p>I then weighted the entire bowl of coins. That was 1,795 grams. Dividing that by the average weight yielded 316.24. We then did an actual count, which came out to 316. And that was after the 126 coins that he had already placed in his albums.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was a fun project. Thanks for the help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
