Question

If an Oreo cookie is 0.654 cm thick, how many Oreos does it take to reach the moon

Answer 1

It takes 5.89 x 10¹⁰ Oreos to reach the moon.

The average distance from the Earth to the moon is 385 000.6 km.

Metres = 385 000.6 km × (1000 m/1 km ) = 385 000 600 m

Centimetres = 38 500 060 000 m × (100 cm/1 m) = 38 500 060 000 cm

Oreos = 38 500 060 000 cm × (1 Oreo/0.654 cm) = 58 900 000 000 Oreos

= 5.89 x 10¹⁰ Oreos
