Estimate the number of coins by dividing the notebook’s side length by the coin’s diameter. Measure the side and coin using a 15-cm scale, then verify by placing coins lengthwise to match your estimate.
You are given a coin. Estimate how many coins are required to be placed one after the other lengthwise, without leaving any gap between them, to cover the whole length of the chosen side of a notebook. Verify your estimate by measuring the same side of the notebook and the size of the coin using a 15-cm scale.

To estimate how many coins are needed, divide the length of the chosen side of your notebook by the diameter of the coin. Measure both the notebook’s side and the coin using a 15-cm scale. After calculating, verify your estimate by placing the coins one after the other lengthwise along the notebook’s side without gaps. Compare the actual number of coins required to your estimate to check the accuracy of your measurement and estimation method.
