Answer:

5.7/min

Explanation:

Divide 3 million by 365 to represent 1 day:

3,000,000 / 365 = approximately 8,219.

Divide 8,219 by 24 to represent 1 hour:

8,219 / 24 = approximately 342.

Divide 342 by 60 to represent one minute:

342 / 60 = 5.7.

The birth rate in United States is approximately 5.7/min
