In 2017, Suzy listened to 313656 minutes of music. On average, how many hours per each day would she have listened to music?

Question

There are about 525600 minutes a year.

Answer 1

The first step is figuring out how many hours of music she listened too in a year.  How many hours are in 313656 minutes?  We know there are 60 minutes in 1 hour so we can solve this using a proportional ratios:

 

1 hour  = _____h ___ 

60 min     313656 min

 

If you multiply through you get

 

h=(1 hour)(313656min)/(60min)=5227.6 hours

 

That's over a whole year.  So to find the daily average we'd have to divide by 365 days.

 

(5227.6 hours)/(365 days)=14.32 hours/day

 

That's a lot of music.

 

Good Luck

 

Cheers
