Answer

Tough one. I love science but math is my arch enemy so I'll list the facts in case I forgot to carry a 1. 20-40 villi per square millimeter / 600 square feet in an adult's small intestine / 304.8 millimeter per square foot / 600 X 304.8 = 182,880 square millimeters in small intestine / 182,880 X 20 = 3,657,600 villi / 182,880 X 40 = 7,315,200 villi.

THERE ARE ANYWHERE FROM 3,657,600 - 7,315,200 VILLI IN THE AVERAGE ADULT'S SMALL INTESTINE.
