A:
Answer: 47.85 ft³Step-by-step explanation:$6 million will be $6/$5 million = 1.2 million bills of the $5 denomination.The volume of that is ... (1.2×10⁶ bills)×((2.61 in)(6.14 in)(0.0043 in)/bill)/(1728 in³/ft³) = 1.2×2.61×6.14×4.3/1.728 ft³ ≈ 47.85 ft³___The units analysis is ... [tex](\text{number of bills})\cdot\dfrac{\text{volume}}{\text{bill}}}=\text{volume}[/tex]where the volume per bill is the product of the given dimensions, and the conversion to cubic feet is ... in³ × (ft³/in³) = ft³where the number of cubic feet per cubic inch is 1/1728.
