Answer:

It will take ≈5 hours (5.278)

Explanation:

First we need to find how many number she counts in one hour. We know she counts 60 every one minute and there are 60 minutes in an hour. 60x60=3600

Now we divide 19,000 by 3600 to find how many hours it will take

19000/3600=5.278

It will take ≈5 hours (5.278)
