In 2007, Procter and Gamble spent $5.2 billion on advertising. Express this quantity in terms of the height in kilometers of a stack of $1 bills. Assume 10 bills per millimeter.
-------
10 bills = 1/1000 meter = 1/1,000,000 kilometers
------------------------
5.2 billion = 0.52 billion stacks of 10 bills
---------------------------------------------
(0.52x10^9)/1x10^6) = 0.52x10^3 = 520 kilometers
