You can put this solution on YOUR website! A computer can perform 600,000 operations in one second. To the nearest minute, how many minutes will it take for the computer to perform 10^8 operations?
.
There are 60 seconds in a minute,
so the computer can perform:
60*600000 = 3600000 operations per minute
.
Converting:
10^8 = 100000000
.
100000000/3600000
= 1000/36
= 27.78
Rounding:
= 28 minutes
