Question

There are approximately

3.3
million deaths per year in country A. Express this quantity as deaths per minute.

Answer 1

3,300,000 deaths/year x 1 year/365 days x 1 day/24 hour x 1 hour/60 min → 3,300,000/525,600 → 6.2785388128 deaths/minute

Answer 2

The death per minute is 6.

Explanation:

Given,

There are approximately 3.3 million deaths per year,

That is, 1 year = 3.3 million death,

We know that 1 year = 365 days,

⇒ 365 days = 3.3 million,

Also, 1 day = 24 hours,

⇒ 24(365) hours = 3.3 million,

⇒ 8760 hours = 3.3 million,

And, 1 hour = 60 minutes,

⇒ 525600 minutes = 3.3 million,

⇒ 1 minute =
`(3300000)/(525600)=6.27853881279\approx 6`

Hence, there are 6 deaths per minute.
