Questions About A Million Dollar Bills

Q1: If we tape a million dollar bills together, will they stretch from 3120 Corlear Ave to Manhattan? New Jersey? Philadelphia?
HINT: each bill is approximately 155.956 mm wide and 25.4 mm equals 1 inch.

Q2: How much will a million dollar bills weigh?
HINT: each bill is approximately 1 gram and 28.3495 grams make an ounce.

Q3: If we could stack them to the sky, how high would they reach?
HINT: each bill is approximately .0043 inches thick so around 233 dollar bills makes a stack 1 inch high.

Q4: If Ms. Scott gives 1 dollar bill to someone in need in Brooklyn after walking 1 second, then waits 2 seconds and does the same, then waits 4 seconds and does the same and so on, how many dollar bills will she give away on November 4th assuming the trip takes 8 hours?
HINT: come join us on 11/4 when we will try this out and see if we run out of money!
