Question

If avogadro's number of pennies is divided equally among the 231 million men, women, and children in the united states, how many dollars would each receive?

Answer 1

2.607 x 10^13 dollars per person. Avogadro's number is approximately 6.0221409x10^23. So divide by the 231 million people. Giving (6.0221409 x 10^23) / (231 x 10^6) = 0.02607 x 10^17 = 2.607 x 10^15 pennies But we want dollars, so divide by 100 2.607 x 10^15 / 100 = 2.607 x 10^13 dollars
