How many quarters fit in a 1 pound coffee can?

It's impossible to give you an exact number of quarters that fit in a 1-pound coffee can without knowing the dimensions of the can. Here's why:

* Can Shape: Coffee cans come in various shapes and sizes (tall and thin, short and wide).

* Quarter Stacking: Quarters don't stack perfectly, so the arrangement affects how many will fit. You'll have some empty spaces, especially near the edges of the can.

* Can Contents: Is the can empty, or does it have other things inside? This will further affect the space available.

To get a good estimate, you could:

1. Measure the can: Find the height and diameter of the can in inches.

2. Calculate volume: Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height).

3. Estimate quarter volume: A quarter is roughly 0.955 inches in diameter and 0.065 inches thick. Calculate its volume using the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

4. Divide: Divide the can's volume by the quarter's volume to get a rough estimate of how many quarters would fit.

Remember: This will still be an estimate, as the actual number will vary due to the factors mentioned above.
