  1. Question # 1 By Rahul Goel & Tanvir Niaz

  2. Our Question • A mole of Big Macs Stacked up would reach from the Earth to the Moon and back how many times?

  3. Measurements • A Big Mac has a height of 5 cm ( 2 inches) • The distance from the centre of the Earth to the Moon is 384, 403 km • Radius of Earth is 6378.1 km • Radius of Moon is 1737.4 km • Avogadro’s formula is 6.022 x 1023

  4. Calculations • Distance from surface of Earth to surface of Moon = 384, 403 – 6378.1 – 1737.4 = 376287.5 km • 376287.5 km x 100 000 = 37 628 750 000 cm • Distance from the Earth to the Moon and back is 37 628 750 000 cm x 2 = 75 257 500 000 cm • One mole of Big Macs = 5 x (6.022 x 1023 ) = 3.01100 × 1024 • We know the units are the same (centimeters), so now divide 3.01100 × 1024 cm by 75 257 500 000 cm to find the answer • 3.01100 × 1024 cm / 75 257 500 000 cm = 4 × 1013

  5. Conclusion • Therefore, a mole of Big Macs can be stacked forty trillion (40, 000, 000, 000, 000) times from the Earth to the Moon and back. THAT IS A LOT!
