What is the amount of the national debt in expanded notation?
The amount of the national debt in expanded notationis? something to figure out yourself
Why doesn't the US pay off its national debt?
You mean by printing all the money it needs? Well, that would cause severe inflation, and put us in a worse situation. No one even suggested that as a solution. You didn't answer the question in any way, you just assumed they meant by printing more money. The national debt at the moment is 9 trillion dollars. Maybe that will help explain why it is yet unpaid.
What would be lost if the national debt is expressed in scientific notation what information would be lost in such a usage?
Nothing would be lost. If the US national debt is written as 1.7292*1013 dollars, then in theory, you lose the numbers below a billion dollars. But in fact you do not lose that information because by the time you read this answer, the figures at that level will probably have changed!
How large is the national debt of the US?
Officially the estimated national debt of the United States for 2009 is: 12,867,500,000,000 However this figured does not include some long term obligations that could double the cost. In perspective if you made one dollar every second for the next 408,025 years, you would be able to pay it off (at the 12 trillion figure).
What percentage of the national debt is owed to foreigners?
66.2 per cent
