Question

If a line of one billion people stretched 327,495 miles long, the average shoulder width of the people in the line is A feet. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

Answer:

  1.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume you want to find A. And we presume the people are standing shoulder-to-shoulder.

  (327,495 mi)/(10^9 persons) = (3.27495×10^5 mi)/(10^9 persons) × (5280 ft/mi)

  = 1.7291736×10^9 ft/(10^9 persons)

  = 1.7292736 ft/person

  ≈ 1.7 ft/person
