the average life expectancy in canada is 80.1 years. Estimate the country's life expectancy in hours?
I know the answer is 700,800 but I cant for the life of me figure out how they get that! Thanks
Multiply the number of years, by the days in a year by the hours in a day.
80.1 * 365 * 24 = 701,676
This isn't exactly the answer you have. In fact, it doesn't account for leap years which would add a little more.
Please check with your teacher.
To estimate the country's life expectancy in hours, we need to convert the average life expectancy in years to hours. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Start with the given life expectancy in years: 80.1 years.
2. Determine the number of hours in a year. On average, a year has 365.25 days because of the leap year that occurs every four years. Each day has 24 hours, so multiply 365.25 by 24: 365.25 * 24 = 8,766 hours.
3. Multiply the number of hours in a year (8,766) by the life expectancy in years (80.1): 8,766 * 80.1 = 700,826.6 hours.
Therefore, the estimated life expectancy in hours for Canada is approximately 700,826.6 hours. Rounding this value gives us 700,800 hours.
To estimate Canada's average life expectancy in hours, you need to convert the given years into hours. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start with the given life expectancy in years, which is 80.1 years.
2. Recall that there are 365 days in a year.
3. Multiply the number of days in a year by the 24 hours in each day: 365 days * 24 hours = 8,760 hours.
4. Finally, multiply the number of hours in a year by the life expectancy in years: 8,760 hours/year * 80.1 years = 702,876 hours.
Therefore, Canada's average life expectancy in hours can be estimated as 702,876 hours.
