Question

How many lakhs make five billion?

Answer 1

$$\textbf{Convert billions to Lakhs}$$

$$1$$ billion $$= 1, 000, 000, 000$$

$$\therefore$$ $$5$$ billions $$= 5 \times 1, 000, 000, 000$$

$$= 5, 000, 000, 000$$

$$= 5000000000$$

$$= 50000 \times 100000$$

$$= 50000$$ Lakhs (since $$100000 = 1$$ lakh)

$$\textbf{Hence, 50, 000 Lakhs make the five billions}$$.
