Question

Only male crickets chirp. They chirp at different rates depending on their species and the temperature of their environment. Suppose a certain species is currently chirping at a rate of 82 chirps per minute. At this​ rate, how many chirps occur in one​ hour? In one​ 24-hour day? In one ​ 365-day year?

Answer 1

Answer:

4920

7084800

2585952000

Step-by-step explanation:

82 chirps = 1 minute

We have 60 minutes in one hour, so 82 x 60 =4920 chirps in one hour

In 24 hours we have 60x24 = 1440 minutes and in one minutes we have 4920 chirps,

Therefore 4920 x 1440 mins =7084800 chirps in one day .

There are 365 days in a year and in one day the cricket chirps 7084800, so 365 days x 7084800 = 258595200 chirps in a year
