We are told that kids play video games 1500 hours per year, and are asked how many minutes of video they play per day.

So, to start with, we convert the 1500 hours to minutes because they want our answer in minutes:

1500 hours = 1500 * 60 = 90000 hours

where we used the fact that there are 60 minutes in every hour.

Now, that we have the number of minutes they play per year, since the year has 365 days, we divide 90000 by 365:

90000/365 = 246.575... minutes per day

If they ask us to round this to one decimal, we type: 246.6 minutes.

If they want the answer rounded to a whole number, we type: 247 minutes.
