Question

Let's say it takes about 3 seconds to count to ten out loud. How many years will it take to count out loud to a billion? Ignore leap years and round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer 1

count 1 billion / count 10 = 100,000,000

 

100,000,000 * 3 sec = 300,000,000 seconds

 

300,000,000 sec * (1 hr / 3600 seconds) = 83,333.33 hours

 

83,333.33 hours * (1 day / 24 hrs) = 3,472.22 days

 

3,472.22 days * ( 1 year / 365 days) = 9.5 years
