To determine how many pencils will make one kilometer, we first need to establish the average length of a pencil. A standard pencil is typically around 7 inches long (or 0.1778 meters). To convert one kilometer into meters, we multiply 1,000 by 1,000, resulting in 1,000,000 meters. Dividing 1,000,000 meters by 0.1778 meters per pencil gives us approximately 5,621,302 pencils needed to make one kilometer.

An average writing pencil is 7.5 inches long. There are 39,370 inches in a kilometer. 39,370 divided by 7.5 is approximately 5,249. Therefore, 5,249 pencils, if aligned front to back, would for a line 1 kilometer long.
One thousandth of kilometer makes one meter
There are 100,000 centimeters in one kilometer.
To calculate the number of trees used to make 2 billion pencils, we need to consider that on average, one tree can produce about 170,000 pencils. Therefore, to make 2 billion pencils, we would need approximately 11,765 trees (2,000,000,000 pencils / 170,000 pencils per tree). This calculation assumes standard industry practices and may vary depending on the type and size of trees used in pencil production.
