SUMMARY

A stack of 1 million 1-dollar bills reaches a height of approximately 33 yards. This calculation is based on the fact that there are 233 new 1-dollar bills per inch. To determine the total height, the total number of bills (1,000,000) is divided by the number of bills per inch (233), resulting in a height of about 4,291.4 inches. Converting inches to yards by dividing by 36 yields the final height of approximately 33 yards.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic arithmetic operations
  • Familiarity with unit conversions (inches to yards)
  • Knowledge of how to calculate total height from a given quantity and density
  • Basic algebra skills for manipulating equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research unit conversion techniques, specifically converting inches to yards
  • Learn about calculating volume and density in mathematical contexts
  • Explore practical applications of arithmetic in real-world scenarios
  • Study the principles of stacking and measuring physical objects
USEFUL FOR

Students learning basic mathematics, educators teaching unit conversions, and anyone interested in practical applications of arithmetic calculations.
