Answer:

96 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Day = 86400\ seconds

Required

Ways to divide it into period of seconds

What this question implies is to determine the total number of factors of 86400

To start with, we determine the prime factorization of 86400

To do this, we continually divide 86400 by 2; when it can not be further divided, we divide by 3, then 7, then 11...

86400/2 = 43200

43200/2=21600

21600/2=10800

10800/2=5400

5400/2= 2700

2700/2 = 1350

1350/2=675

675/3=225

225/3=75

75/3=25

25/5=5

5/5 = 1

This implies that:

86400 = 2^7 * 3^3 * 5^2

The number of factors d is the solved by:

d = (a+1)*(b+1) *(c+1)

Where

n = 2^a * 3^b * 5^c

By comparison:

a = 7

b = 3

c=2

So:

d = (7+1)*(3+1) *(2+1)

d = 8*4 *3

d = 96

<em>Hence, there are 96 total ways</em>

Answer: 230. 34 times five is 170. Then you are left with 170 + 3 + 43 + 4 + 3 +4 + 3. You can combine the 3's and you get 9. You are left with 179 + 4 +4 + 43 You combine the 4's and you get 187. 187 + 43 = 230.

Answer:

last week = 150 minutes

this week = 162 minutes

percentage of changes = (12/150) × 100

= 8%
