Ch. 2, #64. If you divide Avogadros number of pennies among the nearly 300 million people
in the United States, and if each person could count one penny each second every day of the
year for eight hours per day, how long would it take to count the pennies?
Do it step-wise.
1. Note that Avogadros number is 6.02 x 1023. That is the number of seconds needed to
count, since it takes one second to count one penny.
2. Compute how many seconds in 8 hours. That is

60 sec 60 min
x
x8hr ________ sec .
1 min
1hr

Recognize that this is the number of pennies counted in 8 hours by one person.
3. Now compute how many pennies can be counted in 8 hrs (one day) by all people in the US
together.
300 x 106 people x _________pennies/day = _________________ pennies per day.
Recognize that this is the total number of pennies that will be counted per day by the
counting crew.
4. How long will it take to count Avos number of pennies? Divide Avos number by the
number of pennies the counting crew counts per day (your last computed value?
6.02 x10 23 pennies
______________days = ___________ years.
_________________ pennies / day

Answer: 2 x 108 years.
