Question

There are approximately 2.6 million deaths per year. Express this quantity as deaths per minute

Answer 1

So, using the number 3,200,000 deaths per year, you want to divide it until it reaches deaths per minute.
3,200,000 divided by 365 (for days)
8767.123 divided by 24 (for hours)
365.297 divided by 60 (for minutes)
and so you get 6.088 deaths per minute

Answer 2

Minutes per year: 60 per hour * 24 hours a day * 365 days a year = 525,600 minutes
2.6 million / 525,600 = 4.94 deaths per minute
