-------
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

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
Take it a step at a time:
$5.2 billion is 5,200,000,000 $1 bills.
.
How many stack of 1mm will there be:
5,200,000,000/10 = 520,000,000 1mm stacks
.
1 kilometer = 1,000,000 millimeters
520,000,000 mm = 520km
