1.21: Assuming the two-volume edition, there are approximately a thousand pages, andeach page has between 500 and a thousand words (counting captions and the smaller
print, such as the end-of-chapter exercise and problems), so an estimate for the number of
words is about 610 .
1.22: Assuming about 10 breaths per minutes, 6024 minutes per day, 365 days peryear, and a lifespan of fourscore (80) years, the total volume of air breathed in a lifetime
is about 35 m102 . This is the volume of a room m20m100m100 , which is kind oftight for a major-league baseball game, but its the same order of magnitude as thevolume of the Astrodome.

1.26: The surface area of the earth is about 2142 m1054 =R , where R is the radius of
the earth, about m106 6 , so the surface area of all the oceans is about 214 m104 . An
average depth of about 10 km gives a volume of 324318 cm104m104 = . Characterizing
the size of a drop is a personal matter, but 25 3cmdrops is reasonable, giving a total o2610 drops of water in the oceans.
1.27: This will of course depend on the size of the school and who is considered a"student''. A school of thousand students, each of whom averages ten pizzas a year(perhaps an underestimate) will total 104 pizzas, as will a school of 250 studentsaveraging 40 pizzas a year each.
