Answer:

5694000 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose the average American watches 4 hours of TV every day. First, we will calculate how many minutes they watch per day. We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.

(4 h/day) × (60 min/1 h) = 240 min/day

They watch 240 minutes of TV per day. Now, let's calculate how many minutes they watch per year. We will use the conversion factor 1 year = 365 day.

240 min/day × (365 day/year) = 87600 min/year

They watch 87600 min/year. Finally, let's calculate how many minutes they spend watching TV in 65 years.

87600 min/year × 65 year = 5694000 min
