Question

As of January 1998, the total space flight experience of the United States was about 5,768 days. How many years of experience to the nearest tenth of a year is that? a. 19.7 yr c. 26.7 yr b. 15.8 yr d. 10.2 yr

Answer 1

b. 15.8 yr

Explanation:

In this case they ask us to calculate the time in years, they already give us an amount of time in days. To calculate the time in years, we must divide by the equivalence between years and days, 1 year equals 365 normally, since we will not include when it is a leap year, since the variation is minimal, therefore

5768/365 = 1 5.8027

In other words, that equals 15.8 years, therefore the correct answer is b. 15.8 yr
