Question

There are 365 days in a year and 24 hours in a day. An airport camera records for 18 hours and then automatically resets itself to start recording again how many times does the video camera reset itself in a year.

pls help

Answer 1

The answer is 486.6

There are 8,760 hours in a year, so 18 divided by 8,760 would = 486.6

Answer 2

Explanation:

You could do it this way.

How many hours are there in a year?

365 * 24 = 8760 hours.

This camera does not recognize days. It works on hours. Every 18 hours it resets. So

8760/18 = 486 and 2/3 times.

Obviously it cannot have 2/3 of a day. Normally you would round up, but this time you round down.

The answer is 486 times.

2/3 * 24 = 16

The camera would reset 2 hours into the next day.
