Question

Every day about 140, 000, 000 plastic water bottles are brought in the United States each bottle is about 0.25 m long in the equator of the earth is about 40, 000, 000 m around how many times can the earth equator be circle by a line of plastic bottles used in the United States every day

Answer 1

Facts:
Bottles sold daily: 140 million
Each bottle: ~0.25 meters
Equator : 40 million meters

140 mil. Bottles * 0,25 m = 35 million meters

35<40 ( equator) which means you can't circle it not even once with the bottles sold in US in one day!

So 40:35= 0,875

That means we can circle only 87.5% of the Equator!

Info: you need 160 million bottles to circle the Equator once.
