Question

The length of a dollar bill is 6.06 inches. Imagine that dollar bills have been laid end to end in a row. What would be the value of a 100-mile-long row of bills?

Answer 1

1045544 dollars

100 miles= 6336000 inches.

6336000/ 6.06 = 1045544 (A bit bigger but not yet 1045545 so you cannot put in 1 more dollar

Answer 2

The value of a 100-mile-long row of bills is 1,045,545.

Explanation:

The length of a dollar bill = 6.06 inches

1 mile= 63360 inch

`6.06 inch=(6.06)/(63360) mile`

Let the number of dollar bills be X.

Length of the row in X dollar bills are to placed end to end = 100 mile

So,

`X* (6.06)/(63360) mile=100 mile`

`X=(100* 63360)/(6.06)=1,045,544.554\approx 1,045,545`

The value of a 100-mile-long row of bills is 1,045,545.
