Quantitative Reasoning 1. An article from October 3, 2007 in The Washington Post about how paper and plastic bags impact the environment, states that: "Worldwide, an estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year. Tied end to end, the bags could circle the Earth 63 times." A) assume a plastic bag is 18 inches long. Verify the claim in the article B) use scientific notation and estimation to convince yourself that “4 billion plastic bags” is too small by several powers of ten. ( estimate how many plastic bags the world uses each year
