Hello, my word "correct" relates to the line of multiplications in your post.
But NOT to the way on how you interpret these numbers in relation to your previous post.
By the way, you just GOT the solution from the tutor @greenestamps, right ?
It was written in EXTREMALY clear way !
What else do you need ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine which is more:
A ton of pennies.
4 miles of pennies, placed end to end.
-------------
1 penny; .0875 oz.
1 penny; 0.75 in. in diameter.
.0875 = .000002734 tons.
=============================
Ref. Question 1144203:
4 * 5280 * 12 * 1 * 0.0875 * 1 = 22176
You used 0.0875, the weight instead of 0.75, the diameter.
