Question

There are approximately 2.2 million deaths per year in country A. Express this quantity as deaths per minute

Answer 1

1 year = 365 days
365 days = 365*24 hours
365*24 hours = 365*24*60 minutes

2.2 million deaths / year
2.2 * 10^6 deaths / (365*24*60) minutes
4.186 deaths / minute

Answer 2

Answer: Approximately 4 deaths per minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 1 year = 365 days,

1 day = 24 hours,

1 hour = 60 minutes,

⇒ 1 year = ( 365 × 24 × 60 ) minutes = 525600 minutes,

If the numbers of deaths in one year = 2.2 million = 2200000

⇒ The numbers of deaths in 525600 minutes = 2200000

⇒ The number of deaths in 1 minute = 2200000/525600 = 4.18569254186 ≈ 4

Hence, There are approximately 4 deaths per minutes.
