Question

Suppose we lined up all the people in the world (about 6.7 billion people). Assume that each person occupied 12 inches of the line. How many times around Earth would they reach? (Earth has a circumference of about 25,000 miles.) Round your answer to one decimal place.

______ times around the world

Answer 1

Answer: 59.090909...

Explanation:

12in x 7.8 billion= 93,600,000,000 in

93,600,000,000/63,360(number of inches in 1 mile)= 1,477,272.7272 miles

1,477,272.7272 miles/ 25,000(number of miles earth is)= 59.090909...
