$1.128048 \times 10^{25}$ grains of sand are in the Sahara Desert

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The Sahara Desert has an area of approximately 9,400,400 sq.km.

Depth = 150 m

To Find :Approximately how many grains of sand are in the Sahara Desert?

Solution:

Area of Sahara desert = 9,400,400 sq.km.

1 km^2 = 1000000 m^2

So, $9,400,400 km^2 = 1000000 \times 9400400 m^2$

$9,400,400 km^2 =9.4004 \times 10^{12}m^2$

Volume of sand = $Area \times depth$

= $1.41006\times 10^{15} m^3$

1 m ^3 = 1000000 cm^3

So, $1.41006\times 10^{15} m^3 = 1.41006\times 10^{15} \times 1000000cm^3$

$1.41006\times 10^{15} m^3 =1.41006 \times 10^{21}cm^3$

1 cubic cm holds grains of sand = 8000

$1.41006 \times 10^{21}cm^3$ holds grains of sand = $1.41006 \times 10^{21} \times 8000$

= $1.128048 \times 10^{25}$

Hence $1.128048 \times 10^{25}$ grains of sand are in the Sahara Desert
