Question

Approximately how high would a stack of 3 million $1 bills be? (assume there are 233 new $1 bills per inch. round your answer to the nearest yard.)

Answer 1

A stack of 3 million $1 bills, with 233 bills per inch, would be approximately 12,876 inches or about 358 yards high after rounding to the nearest yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine approximately how high a stack of 3 million $1 bills would be, you can use the given information that there are 233 new $1 bills per inch. To find the height in inches, divide the total number of bills by the number of bills per inch:

Height in inches = 3,000,000 bills / 233 bills per inch

Next, we convert the height in inches to yards because there are 36 inches in a yard:

Height in yards = Height in inches / 36

Finally, we round our answer to the nearest yard as requested.

So let's calculate step-by-step:

1. Height in inches = 3,000,000 bills / 233 bills per inch = 12,875.536480686 inches
2. Height in yards = 12,875.536480686 inches / 36 inches per yard ≈ 357.65 yards
3. Rounded to the nearest yard, the stack of 3 million $1 bills would be approximately 358 yards high.
