Remark
The question boils down to how many minutes are there in a year? Divide whatever you get into 3.6 million
Find the number of minutes in a year.
Multiply all the numbers in the numerator together.
1 * 52 weeks * 7 days * 24 h * 60 Minutes = 524160 minutes in 1 year.
Denominator
there are just ones in the denominator.
Find the deaths per minute
Deaths = 3.6 million = 3 600 000
Number of minutes / year = 524160
<em><u>Deaths / minute</u></em> 3600000 / 524160 = 6.868.

Answer:
(a) boxes of cat food had been sold.
(b) boxes of cat food had been sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
Polly stacked the tins from five boxes of cat food onto an empty shelf and there were 15 tins of cat food in each box. That is,
5 × 15 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.
5 × 15 = 75
Hence, 75 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.
Also, from the question,
At the end of the week there were 20 tins left on the shelf and the rest of the tins had been sold, that is
75 - 20 tins had been sold
75 - 20 = 55
Hence, 55 tins of cat food had been sold.
To determine the number of boxes of cat food that had been sold,
Since there are 15 tins of cat food per box, then
we will divide 55 tins of cat food that had been sold by 15 tins of cat food per box
55 ÷ 15 =
Hence, boxes of cat food had been sold
(a) As a mixed number
Hence, boxes of cat food had been sold.
(b) As an improper fraction
Hence, boxes of cat food had been sold.
