Hello, I'm sort of stuck with this order of magnitude question I have came across.
Q: The annual global production of jet fuel in 2010 was approximately 783 million litres.
An aeroplane consumes 0.03 litres of jet fuel per passenger for every kilometre it flies.
Estimate the number of passengers could be transported from the U.K to Australia every year. (A distance of 15223 Km)
I know that I have to round each value to the power of 10, but the estimation of passengers confused me. I'm not sure what to do.
