4) (50.0 0.2) cm x (20 1) cm

Suppose your hair grows at the rate of 1/32 inch

per day. Find the rate at which it grows in
nanometers per second.
Since the distance between atoms in a molecule
is on the order of 0.1 nm, your answer suggests
how rapidly atoms are assembled in this protein
synthesis.

A billionaire offers to give you $1 billion if you

can count out that sum with only $1 bills. Should
you accept her offer?
Assume that you can count at an average rate of
one bill every second, and be sure to allow for
the fact that you need about 8 hours a day for
sleeping and eating.
