in a typical year, about 46,000 deaths result from car accidents. How manyu deaths would result from car accidents in a typical 4 day period?
if this is simple a question about changing units then I would multiply 4 by 360 and then divide 46000 by this multiple. which gives me aprrox. 32 deaths/year.
There are 365 days in a year. You only want to know about 4 of these days.
4/365 * 46,000 = approx. 504
To find out how many deaths would result from car accidents in a typical 4-day period, you need to determine the average number of deaths per day.
Given that there are about 46,000 deaths resulting from car accidents in a typical year, you divide this number by 365 days in a year to find the average daily deaths:
46,000 / 365 = 126.3 (approx.)
Therefore, on average, there are approximately 126.3 deaths from car accidents per day.
To find the number of deaths in a 4-day period, you multiply the average daily deaths by the number of days:
126.3 deaths per day * 4 days = 505.2 (approx.)
Therefore, in a typical 4-day period, there would be approximately 505.2 deaths resulting from car accidents.
