Question

HELP ME 20 POINTS!!!Assume that the average volume of an adult human body is one-tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

,Assume that the average volume of an adult human body is one-tenth

cubic meter (0.10 m) and that there are two billion (2.0 x 109)

adults in the world.

a. What would be the total volume of all the adults in the world?

b. Compute the length of one edge of a cubic container that has a

volume equal to the volume of all the adults in the world.

Answer 2

a). (2.0 x 10^9) x (0.1) = 2.0 x 10^8 cubic meters

b). The edge of a cube with that volume is

(2.0 x 10^8) ^ 1/3 = about 585 metres

(about 0.36 of a mile)

==> I'm pretty sure there are actually more than 2 billion adults in the world, since the total population is well over 7 billion now.
