Plug in the 1/2 where the a’s are answer is -3
Minutes per year is the main thing to figure out here which takes a tiny bit of multiplying but you'll end up with 525,600 minutes
just divide the deaths per year by minutes per year and it should give you the correct answer
2,600,000/525,600 = 4.95 so if you end up rounding, just about 5 deaths per minute
If you have a protractor measure the degrees in vetesis

Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.
So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.
An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is
where the exclamation marks indicate factorials
X shortest piece
X+6 middle piece
X+8 longest piece
Add them
3x+14=56
3x=42
X=42/3=14
