Question from Dion, a parent: I am struggling to calculate what 11 trillion divided by 309,418,000 is. |
Dion,
Uning the American meaning of trillion, 11 trillion is 11,000,000,000,000. Hence 11 trillion divided by 309,418,000 is
11,000,000,000,000/309,418,000
= 11,000,000,000/309,418
= (11/309,418) × 1,000,000,000.
Use your calculator to find 11/309,418 and then multiply by 1,000,000,000.
