FQ#2-Leaves


How many leaves lie on the average American lawn in the month of November?

FA #1-Black Friday

Take the population of America (~300,000,000) and multiply that by the fraction of Americans who will go shopping (24/100). The answer is: 300,000,000*(24/100)=72,000,000 or 7.2E7. So FA#1 = 7.
