  3. it will take Dunkin Doughnuts 3 years to sell 3.23x10^10 a mole of coffee

    60cups x 3.1x10^8 = 1.86 x 10^10 so
    6.02 x 1023 divided by 1.8 x 10^10

  6. The height of a Coke soda can is 4.83 inches
    Converted into millimeters = 122.682 mm

    122.682mm x 6.02e23 = 7.3854564e25 mm
    Converted into miles = 45891098484848484352. miles

    The Distance from Earth to the Sun in miles: 93,000,000 miles

    How many times would a mole of a Coke soda can go to the Sun?
    45891098484848484352 miles/ 93,000,000 miles = 493,452,671,880 times (billion)
