Question

Approximately 31,000 citizens of a country died in automobile accidents in 2015 express this toll in deaths per hour

Answer 1

24 hrs per day....365 days per yr....24 * 365 = 8760 hrs per yr

31000 / 8760 = 3.5 deaths per hr

Answer 2

4 deaths per hour

Explanation:

We have been given that approximately 31,000 citizens of the country died in automobile accident in 2015.

Since we know that 1 year = 365 days,

1 day = 24 hours

In one year there are total hours = 365 × 24 = 8,760 hours

Death per hour =
`(31000)/(8760)` = 3.5388 ≈ 4

Therefore, the toll in deaths per hour is approximately 4 in 2015.
