asked on Billions of Asterisks?
My friend and I are doing a math challenge. And we need some help. We don't really understand this. The question is...
How many pages would it take to make a billion asterisks?
I already know that one one page there are 11,376 MILLION asterisks.
And I know it takes 88 pages for a million asterisks to fit.
Please Help. Thank you!!!

Can you use the same technique you used for a million asterisks to find the answer for a billion asterisks?

I was typing out my answer as frosty posted but it looks like we're saying the same thing

Thank you that was absolutely perfect! I wish everyone could explain an answer as well as you two did. Thank you very much!! Now I'll be able to finish up the math challenge (:

If on one page there are 11+ million asterisks why does it take 88 pages to print 1 million asterisks?

Aburr - I just ignored that part. I think it was a typo on the naseeam's part.
He stated that you can fit 1,000,000 asterisks onto 88 pages. It follows that you can then fit 11363.636363... asterisks onto just 1 page.
He stated "I already know that one one page there are 11,376 MILLION asterisks.", which is an incorrect statement, but I get the gist of where he was trying to go with the question, so I ignored it and just used the original information he gave.
