QuestionHow many times would 10 million dollar bills (6.14 in each) wrap around the 84-mile I-275 loop? Round to 1 decimal place.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The length of a dollar bill is6.14 inches. The length of the I-275 highway loop is84 miles3. Ten million dollar bills are laid end-to-end lengthwise4.1 mile =63,360 inches
STEP 2
First, we need to find the total length of ten million dollar bills laid end-to-end. We can do this by multiplying the number of bills by the length of a single bill.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the number of bills and the length of a single bill to calculate the total length of the bills.
STEP 4
Calculate the total length of the bills.
STEP 5
Now, we need to convert the length of the I-275 highway loop from miles to inches. We can do this by multiplying the length in miles by the number of inches in a mile.
STEP 6
Now, plug in the given values for the length of the I-275 highway loop in miles and the number of inches in a mile to calculate the length of the highway in inches.
STEP 7
Calculate the length of the I-275 highway loop in inches.
STEP 8
Now that we have the total length of the bills and the length of the I-275 highway loop in the same units (inches), we can find how many times the line of bills would go around the highway loop. This can be found by dividing the total length of the bills by the length of the highway loop.
STEP 9
Plug in the values for the total length of the bills and the length of the I-275 highway loop in inches to calculate the number of loops.
STEP 10
Calculate the number of loops.
If you laid ten million dollar bills end-to-end lengthwise, the line of bills would reach around Cincinnati's I-275 highway loop.5 times.
