Question

The average lemon is 2.5 inches in length. How many lemons could you fit, end-to-end, in between the Earth and the Sun?

 

Answer 1

First we would need the distance between the earth and the sun which would be ( 1au= 92285000 Mi )

from there we can convert the miles to feet ( 92285000Mi= 487264800000ft .) Then convert that to inches

( 487264800000ft= 5847177600000in .) Finally with simple division ( 5847177600000 / 2.5= 2338871040000 lemons )
