Question

Imagine that Amy counted 60 numbers per minute and continued to count nonstop until she reached 19,000. Determine a reasonable estimate of the number of hours it would take Amy to complete the counting. It will take Amy approximately (Type a whole number.) hours to count to 19,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take Amy approximately 5 hours to count to 19000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy counts 60 numbers per minute, since an hour has 60 minutes, this means that Amy will count 60 x 60 =3600 numbers per hour.

Now we divide the quantity of numbers she counts: 19,000 by 3600 (numbers she counts per hour)

$19000$÷$3600= 5.27777$

Therefore, it will take Amy approximately 5 hours to count to 19000
