Answer 1

To determine if the collective stay of the 80 women in the hospital was more than a year, we need to calculate the total number of days they spent in the hospital. By assuming each woman stayed for an equal number of days, we can compare the total with the number of days in a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the collective stay of the 80 women is more than a year, we need to calculate the total number of days they spent in the hospital. Let's assume each woman stayed for an equal number of days, x. The total number of days would then be 80*x.

To determine if this is more than a year, we convert a year into days. As a non-leap year has 365 days, we compare 80*x with 365. If 80*x is greater than 365, then it is likely that collectively they spent more than a year in the hospital.

For example, if each woman stayed for 6 days (x = 6), then the total days would be 80*6 = 480, which is greater than 365. Therefore, it is likely that the collective stay of the 80 women is more than a year in the hospital.
