You Get 1 Point Every 3 Seconds, There Is A Total Of 2592000 Seconds. How Much Points Do You Earn?

Question

How Much Points Do I Get in 2592000 Seconds

Answer 1

To change units without changing the value, we use the Multiplicative Identity (that is, 1).

  In this problem, we have 1 point every 3 seconds, or:

        1 =  (1 point)/(3 seconds)

 

When first learning, it really helps to keep the units:

 

So,

         2592000 seconds

         (2592000 seconds)*1

         (2592000 seconds)*( (1 point)/(3 seconds) )

         (2592000/3) points              [note: seconds cancel out]

          864000 points

Answer 2

How many* points do you earn?

 

2,592,000 / 3 = 864,000

Answer 3

2.592 x 10⁶ / 3

0.864 x 10⁶

864000

 

I earn 864000 points.
