Option 1:
Marney did a Google search on “Obama Inauguration” and it produced 34,800,000 hits in 0.06 seconds. At this same rate, how many hits would be produced in 1 second. Express your answer in scientific notation.

Option2:
Interest in tickets to the 2009 Inauguration was so high that one ticket broker asked $20,095 for a single ticket. The government printed a quarter of a million tickets, intended to be freely given. If all were given to individuals, one apiece, and 0.1% of those who received these free tickets sold them for an average of $20,000 each, how much money would they have generated?

Option 3:
The longest inaugural speech was given by Henry Harrison in 1841; it was 8445 words. He spoke for 1 hour and 45 minutes, without a hat or a coat, in a snow storm. (He caught pneumonia and passed away one month later.) The shortest speech was George Washington’s second inaugural address, which was only 135 words. Obama’s speech fell somewhere in the middle, at 18 minutes 20 seconds and 2401 words. What is the positive difference between the rate at which Obama spoke and the rate at which Harrison spoke? Express your answer in words per minute, as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
