Question

An Olympic swimming pool is 50 m long, 25 m wide, and 1.5 m deep. How many Olympic pools would be filled by the dollar bills spent by the U.S. federal government in 2011

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of dollars bills that can be fitted in Olympic pool = 1.67 billion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of a dollar bill are 15.5956 cm by 6.6294 cm by 0.010922 cm. The U.S. federal government spent $3.8 trillion in fiscal year 2011.

An Olympic swimming pool is 50 m long, 25 m wide, and 1.5 m deep. How many Olympic pools would be filled by the dollar bills spent by the U.S. federal government in 2011

From above,

The volume for the dimension of the dollar bill = 15.5956 cm × 6.6294 cm × 0.010922 cm

The volume for the dimension of the dollar bill = 1.12922 cm³

The volume for the dimension of the dollar bill = 1.12922 × 10⁻⁶ m³

The volume of the pool = 50 m  ×  25 m  ×  1.5 m

The volume of the pool = 1875 m³

Number of dollars bills that can be fitted in pool = volume of the pool/volume of the dimension of dollar bills

Number of dollars bills that can be fitted in Olympic pool =1875 m³ / 1.12922 × 10⁻⁶ m³

Number of dollars bills that can be fitted in Olympic pool = 1,660,438,180

Number of dollars bills that can be fitted in Olympic pool = 1.67 billion.
