6.The current US debt as of 8/23/21 was about 28.7 trillion. Calculate how far a stack of dollar bills in this amount would reach in miles. Assume the dollar bills are being stacked laying flat. show your work. Make sure to include units in your work
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

7.The current US debt as of 8/31/20 was about 26.7 trillion. Using the distance you found in the previous questions, would a stack of dollar bills in the amount of the U.S. national debt reach from the Earth to the Moon?
a) No, not by a long shot.
b) No, but almost.
c) Yes, barely.
d) Yes, it reaches to the Moon and nearly back to the Earth.
e) Yes, it could make the round trip to the Moon and back twice with enough bills left over to return to the Moon a third time
8.Pluto has been hard to measure from Earth because of its atmosphere. In 2007 Young, Young, and Buie measured Pluto as having a diameter of 2322 km. In 2015 the New Horizons probe reached Pluto and measured it up close and we now know the actual diameter is 2372 km. What was the percent error of the 2007 measurement? Enter your answer as a percent, with a negative value if the 2007 measurement was too small and a positive value if it was too large.
