minus-squarecredo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 month agoA banana is to a mile as a banana peel is to a square mile. A banana peel is 181.48 sq cm or 7.007 × 10-9 sq miles, so… (386.1 (sq miles)) / (7.00736808e-9 (sq miles)/(banana peel)) = 5.50991464 × 1010 banana peels. So 55 billion, give or take.
minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoInternet tells me a banana is about 200 square centimeters, which confused me so I had to convert that back into measurements I understand. Google says 200 square centimeters is about 1 bananas worth. So anyways ~200 billion bananas if my napkin math checks out.
Yeah, but how many bananas?
