there are approximately 2.6 million births in a country each year. find the birth rate in units per minute

Question

birth rate in units

Answer 1

1 year = 365 days (except leap year, which this is)

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

 

So there are 365(24)(60) minutes in a year.  Compute this number, then divide 2,600,000 by this # of minutes per year, giving you the desired # of birth per minute (on average).
