HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLES
CANS WOULD HAIF ENCIRCLE
If all the cans of pineapple packed in Hawaii this year were placed side by side, they would reach more than half-way around the world. The line of canned pineapple would be 13 636 miles long.
The average width of a pineapple can is four inches. Hawaii will produce this year approximately 9,000.000 eases, or 210.000.00 f. cans of the fruit. Placed side by side these represent 964,000.0011 inches, or 72,000,000 feet. This divided by the number of feet in a mile gives 13,630 miles.
