Question

At the start of the month, Suzanne's clothing store website had 7,278 hits. At the end of the month, it had 50,165 hits. If each hit lasted 1.5 minutes, then what was the approximate total number of minutes on the website for this month? A. 64,500 B. 43,651 C. 21,955 D. 102,200

Answer 1

Answer:

• Option A. 64,500

Explanation:

1. First, calculate the number of hits had during the month, by difference:

• 50,165 hits - 7,278 hits = 42,887 hits

2. Round the result to obtain an approximation = 43,000 hits

3. Multiply by the time that each lasted:

• 43,000 hits × 1.5 min/hit = 64,500 minutes.

Hence, the answer is the option A.
