Asked by Asia
Emma is using the Fermi process to estimate the number of standard sheets of U.S. writing paper that would need to be stacked on top of one another to reach the top of Mt. Mckinley.
Emma knows that a standard sheet of writing paper is approximately 0.004 in. thick and Mt. Mckinley is 20,322 ft tall.
How many sheets of paper are needed?
A.) 6 x 10^8
B.) 6 x 10^7
C.) 8 x 10^7
D.) 8 x 10^8
I think the answer is C.
