How many juice boxes fit in the volume of lake Champlain.

1. Background Story
My project is on how many juice box fit in the surface area of lake Champlain. First off it is going to be a really big number, it is going to take a lot of data, you need an estimation, it is nearly impossible to do in human. As you can see that is what my project is on.
2. Ask Yourself This:
My project you have to find 3 questions on what it is about and what do you need to find out to solve this problem. My questions are what is the surface area of a juice box? What is the surface area of lake Champlain?and, How do you put the juice Box in? As you can see these are my 3 questions.
3. Helpful Hints:
- Lake champlain is 490 square miles and a juice box is 30 square inches so you have to find how many square inches are in a square mile then multiply that by your square miles of lake champlain.
4. Construct formula:
x= square miles of lake champlain.
y= square inches of the juice box. (?*y) * x = your answer
?= how many square inches in a square mile.
5. Messy Math:
4,014,489,600 square inches per 1 square mile * 490 square miles = 1.9670999e+12
4.0x10 9th. * 5.0x 10 2nd =. 2x10 12th
