Answer 1

The height of a stack of one million dollars in one thousand dollar bills is 4000 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of a stack of one million dollars in one thousand dollar bills, we can use the given information about the height of a stack of one billion dollars in one thousand dollar bills. Let's say the height of the one million dollars stack is x inches. We know that a stack of one billion dollars is 4000 inches tall. So, we can set up a proportion:

1 billion dollars / 1 million dollars = 4000 inches / x inches

Simplifying the proportion, we get: 1,000,000,000 / 1,000,000 = 4000 / x

Cross multiplying, we get: 1,000,000,000 * x = 1,000,000 * 4000

Simplifying further, we get: x = 4000 inches

Therefore, the height of a stack of one million dollars in one thousand dollar bills is 4000 inches.
