Answer:
Given : There are approximately 3.7 million deaths per year in country A.
To Find : Express this quantity as deaths per minute.
Solution :
No. of deaths in 1 year = 3.7 million
1 year = 365 days
1 days = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
24 hours = [tex]60 \times 24 = 1440 minutes[/tex]
So, 1 day =1440 minutes
So, 365 days =[tex]365 \times 1440 = 525600 minutes[/tex]
So, 1 year = 525600 minutes
So, No. of deaths in 525600 minutes = 3.7 million
No. of deaths in 1 minute = [tex]\frac{3700000}{525600}[/tex]
No. of deaths in 1 minute = [tex]7.0395[/tex]
Hence approximately 7.03 deaths per minute
