Answer:
4.1 billion
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ft = 30.48 cm
1 in = 2.54 cm
The volume of rain that fell on the roof is given by ...
V = LWH
V = (175 ft × 30.48 cm/ft)(45 ft × 30.48 cm/ft)(11 in × 2.54 cm/in)
= 175×45×11×30.48²×2.54 cm³ = 204,412,236.336 cm³
At 20 drops per cm³, this will be ...
20×204,412,236.336 ≈ 4,088,244,727 . . . . raindrops
About 4.1 billion raindrops fell on your roof.
