Answer:

Ans.

a) To pay off the debt, it would take 190.26 years at a rate of $2,500/second

b) The quantity of dollar bills attached end to end that would take to reach the Moon is  2,478,116,129  

Explanation:

Hi, we are going to need to do some adjustments to the speed equation of physics (for a.) and a unit conversion for b.

Let´s see the equation that we need for a.

PmtSpeed=\frac{Debt}{time}

Therefore.

time=\frac{Debt}{PmtSpeed} =\frac{15,000,000,000,000Dollars}{2,500\frac{dollars}{second} } = 6,000,000,000Seconds

Now, we need to convert this to years, that is:

6,000,000,000Seconds *\frac{1Year}{ 31,536,000Seconds } =190.26Years

Now, for b) we need to establish the leght of a dollar bill in meters, that is.

Dollar(m)=15.50cm*\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.155m

And now, since we know the length of a dollar bill in meters, let´s find out how many would it take to reach the moon.

Bills(Units)= 384,108,000m*\frac{1DollarBill}{0.155m} = 2,478,116,129 Bills

Best of luck.

Curtis Williams is 69 years old. His wife, Mary Williams, is 67 years old. Curtis and Mary plan to file a joint return. Mary is legally blind. IRS provides high standard deduction to married couples who have age of 65 or above and blind or one of the partner is legally blind.

IRS states that if filling for joint return is done by married taxpayers in the year 2022 then normal standard deduction is $25,900. In this case Curtis and Mary both are over the age of 65 and Mary is blind too then as per IRS guidelines they will get $1,400 deduction per person for being above 65 plus Mary will get additional $1,400 deduction for being legally blind.

$25,900 + $1,400 + $1,400 + $1,400 = $30,100

Hence, Curtis and Mary's standard deduction is $30,100.
