Sam is not a fan of the Imperial system, but this isn’t really so much a complaint as a cross examination. It was discussed over dinner, though, so work with me here.<\/p>\n

Sam: “Mom, how high does a plane fly? Is it close to the tallest building?”<\/p>\n

Me: “Planes fly at 39,000 feet, baby.”<\/p>\n

Sam: “No, in meters.”<\/p>\n

Me: “Hmm, Alexa, how many meters is 39,000 feet?”<\/p>\n

Alexa: “39,000 feet is 11,887.2 meters.”<\/p>\n

Me: “There you go, buddy. 11,887 meters.”<\/p>\n

Sam: “How many tallest buildings in the world is that?”<\/p>\n

Me: “Uhh, how tall is the tallest building in the world?”<\/p>\n

Sam: “828 meters.”<\/p>\n

Me: “Okay. Alexa, what is 11,887 divided by 828?”<\/p>\n

Alexa: “11,887 divided by 828 is 14.3562801932.”<\/p>\n

Me: “So, to get to the height of a plane, you would need about 14 and a third of the tallest buildings.”<\/p>\n

Sam: “A third? So 14 plus three more?”<\/p>\n

Me: “No, a third is a piece of a whole. It’s . . okay, you would need 14 of the tallest buildings and one Shin Godzilla.”<\/p>\n

Sam: “Okay.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
