Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First of all, if one bill weighs on gram, a million would weigh one million grams. Let's divide this by 1,000 to see how many kilograms it is.

1,000,000/1,000=1,000

Now, we need to convert 1,000 kilograms into pounds. We see that 1 kilogram is equal to about 2.205 pounds, so we multiply 1,000 kilograms by 2.205 to get our pounds.

1,000*2.205=2205

Therefore, one million dollar bills weigh about 2205 pounds.

Have a wonderful day! :D
