Question

There are approximately 2.2 million deaths per year in country A. Express this quantity as deaths per minute

Answer 1

Answer: Approximately 4 deaths per minutes.

Explanation:

Since, 1 year = 365 days,

1 day = 24 hours,

1 hour = 60 minutes,

⇒ 1 year = ( 365 × 24 × 60 ) minutes = 525600 minutes,

If the numbers of deaths in one year = 2.2 million = 2200000

⇒ The numbers of deaths in 525600 minutes = 2200000

⇒ The number of deaths in 1 minute = 2200000/525600 = 4.18569254186 ≈ 4

Hence, There are approximately 4 deaths per minutes.
