The average person lives for about 78 years. Does the average person live for at least 1,000,000 hours? (Hint: There are 365 days in each year and 24 hours in each day.)

No they do not.

If they live exactly for 78 years, they only reach 685,000 hours.

Okay. So first things first, 365 * 24 is 8,760. There are 8,760 hours in 1 year. Now, let's multiply that number by 78 to see what we get. 8,760 * 78 is 683,280. That is 316,720 hours (over 36 years) short of living at least 1,000,000 hours, so no. The average person does not live 1 million hours. the average amount of hours lived is 683,280. To live at least 1 million hours, you would have to live to at least 114 years. It's possible to do as people have live that age and a bit passed it, but it's extremely rare.
