1. Did you know…….. If you took 1 billion people standing side by side- shoulder to shoulder, they would be able to go around the earth’s circumference 12 ½ times!

2. We measured 3 people and found that the distance end to end was about 59 inches. Using proportions 3 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒59 𝑖𝑛𝑐h𝑒𝑠=1,000,000,000 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑥 𝑖𝑛𝑐h𝑒𝑠 Solving by using cross-multiplication 1 billion people would be 19,666,666,666 inches Since 1 ft is 12 inches then 19,666,666,666 𝑖𝑛𝑐h𝑒𝑠12 𝑖𝑛𝑐h𝑒𝑠 = 1,638,888,888 ft. The internet said the circumference of the earth is about 131,479,713.54 ft. This means that 1,638,888,888 𝑓𝑡131,479,713 𝑓𝑡 = 12.5 times around the earth for 1 billion people
