directrix · Answer

Do you think it would be correct to multiply 220,000 (average worth) times the number of families (6.1x10^7)?

220,000 times 6.1x10^7 = ?

directrix · Answer

I am getting 8.54 * 10^8 which is 13, 420, 000, 000, 000.

That looks odd. 

What did you multiply together to get your answer?

directrix · Answer

I'm doing one average family's worth times the number of families. 

That is what this --> 220,000 times 6.1x10^7 =   represents.
