How many 18 wheelers would be required to haul 1 million dollars?

Question

worth of pennies? In other words, 100 million pennies. More than one? Think about how big the trailer is on an eighteen wheeler. If you filled it with pennies, would it hold all 100 million?

You may need to consider weight more than anything. I'm guessing you could not fill the trailer up with pennies due to weight limitiations.

I know this is a goofy question.

Answer 1

Well as goofy as it may seem .. it's not any worse than some of them on here. heh  Anyway here's what I come up with, check the link below to see where I come up with the numbers where weight is concerned etc.

To find out how much the truck weighs and can haul... take the total of 80,000 subtract the actual weight..... equals 35,000 carrying weight.

Then put the total weight of the pennies divided by weight that can be hauled..... tells you how many trucks to haul it all..... 17 trucks ... 576000/35000 equals 16.45..... so there you go, it would take 17 semi's to haul one million dollars in pennies sweetie.
