the answer in scientific form is 1.829198 • 10^9 but not in scientific form would just be 346,439 times 5280

Answer: [tex]1.83\text{ feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If a line of one billion people standing shoulder to shoulder stretches 346,439 miles long.

We know that 1 mile =5280 feet

Then, the length of line=[tex]346439\times5280=1829197920[/tex] feet

We know that 1 billion can be written as :

[tex]1,000,000,000=10^9[/tex]

Now, the average shoulder width of the people in the line :-

[tex]\dfrac{1829197920}{1000000000}=1.8291979\approx1.83\text{ feet}[/tex]

Hence, the average shoulder width of the people in the line is about [tex]1.83\text{ feet}[/tex]
