How many times can the Earth's equator be circled by a line of plastic bottles used in the United States every day

Answer 1

7/8  times the Earth's equator be circled by a line of plastic bottles used in the United States every day

Step-by-step explanation:

Every day, about 140,000,000 plastic water bottles are bought in the United States

Bottles = 140,000,000

Each bottle is about 0.25 meters long,

Length of 140,000,000 Bottles = 140,000,000 * 0.25

= 35,000,000

the equator of the Earth is about 40,000,000 meters around.

the number of times the Earth's equator be circled by a line of plastic bottles used in the United States every day  = 35,000,000 / 40,000,000

= 7/8

= 0.875

= 87.5 %
