Question

There are 365 days in a year and 24 hours in a day. An airport video camera records for 18 hours and then automatically resets itself to start recording again.

A: How many times does the video reset itself in a year?
B. If the camera is started at the beginning of a year, how many hours will it record in the following year before resetting again?

Answer 1

The video camera records for 18 hours before resetting, and there are 365 days in a year. To determine how many times it resets in a year, you divide the total number of hours in a year (365 days * 24 hours/day) by the duration the camera records before resetting (18 hours). This calculation provides the number of times the video camera automatically resets itself within the span of one year.
