Guesstimate how much total time do Americans spend driving in one year? Express the answer in hours, years and lifetimes.
1 answer:
Answer:
1,460 hours per year.
113,880 hours in a lifetime.
Step-by-step explanation:
Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.
Let's assume that on an average day Americans drive 4 hours a day. This includes going and coming from work as well as any groceries they might need to do. Since there are 365 days in a year we can multiply this by the hours a day driven.
We can "guesstimate" that on average an American drives 1,460 hours per year.
Based on my research the average lifetime of an American is 78 years old. We can now multiply this by the number of hours driven in a year to have an idea of the number of hours driven in a lifetime.
On average we "guesstimate" that an American drives 113,880 hours in a lifetime.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

If two similar triangles have sides in the ratio a : b, then their areas are in the ratio a² : b².
We have the ratio:
Area of the smaler triangle = x
Area of the larger triangle = 567 cm²
Therefore we have the equation:
Explanation:
Conversion of a quadratic equation from standard form to vertex form is done by completing the square method.
Assume the quadratic equation to be where x is the variable.
Completing the square method is as follows:
- send the constant term to other side of equal
- divide the whole equation be coefficient of
, this will give
- add
to both side of equality
- Make one fraction on the right side and compress the expression on the left side
- rearrange the terms will give the vertex form of standard quadratic equation
Follow the above procedure will give the vertex form.
(NOTE : you must know that . Use this equation in transforming the equation from step 3 to step 4)
