Question

If there are 3.6 million deaths per year how many deaths are there per minute

Answer 1

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.

$\text{1 year}*\dfrac{52weeks}{1 year}*\dfrac{7 days}{1 week}*\dfrac{24 hours}{1 day}*\dfrac{60 min}{1 hour}$

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

Deaths / minute 3600000 / 524160 = 6.868.

Every minute 6.868 people die.
