Question

A dentist in Rome kept all the teeth he extracted from his patients from 1868 to 1903 there were 2,000,744 teeth in his collection What was the everage number of teeth he extracted in a day

Answer 1

157

Explanation:

There are 35 years in-between 1868 and 1903. You can find this by doing 1903-1868

There are 365 days in a year so:

35x365=12,775

There are 12,775 days in 35 years.

To find the average per day you divided 2,000,744 by 12,755

That equals 156.614

So you can round that to 157 because anything 5 and over rounds up.

So the average of teeth pulled a day is 157.

Answer 2

1903-1868 = 35

35 * 365 = 12775

2000744 / 12775 = 156.61

He extracted 157 teeth per day .
