Question

a computer can perform 502 million calculations per second. How many calculations can it perform per minute

 

Answer 1

1 second completes 502,000,000 calculations

1 second completes 5.02 x 10⁸ calculations

60 second completes  (60) (5.02 x 10⁸) calculations

1 minute completes 30.12 x 10⁸ calculations

1 minute completes 3.012 x 10⁹ calculations 

Answer 2

Use the conversion factor

 

60 seconds = 1 minute

 

 

Divide 502 million by 1/60.

 

(502 × 10⁶ calculations)  / (1 / 60 min)

 

 

Answer 3

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so simply multiply 502 million by 60 then write your answer in scientific notation 

 

for example 1500*60=90000 or 9 x 10^4
