a. Describe the dimensions of a container that you could use to show your students 1 million grains of rice_ Explain. Give a sense of approximately how big this container is by describing it as being about as big as a familiar object.
b. Describe the dimensions of a container that you could use to show your students 1 billion grains of rice. Explain. Give a sense of approximately how big this container is by describing it as being about as big as a familiar object.
c. Describe the dimensions of a container that you could use to show your students 1 trillion grains of rice. Explain. Give a sense of approximately how big this container is by describing it as being about as big as a familiar object.
a. To show your students 1 million grains of rice, you would need a container that can hold 1 million 1-cm-by-1-cm-by-1-cm rice cubes. Since each cube has a volume of 1 cubic centimeter, the total volume needed for 1 million grains would be 1 million cubic centimeters or 1,000,000 cm³.
To give you a sense of how big this container is, it's roughly equivalent to a cube with sides of about 100 centimeters (or 1 meter) each. This is approximately the size of a small refrigerator or a large storage bin.
