Question 1169300
<font color=black size=3>
1 year = 365 days (assuming we're not talking about a leapyear)
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes


Use those equalities above to convert from 1 year to minutes.
*[Tex \Large 1 \text{ year} = \left(1 \text{ year}\right)*\left(\frac{365 \text{ days}}{1 \text{ year}}\right)*\left(\frac{24 \text{ hours}}{1 \text{ day}}\right)*\left(\frac{60 \text{ minutes}}{1 \text{ hour}}\right)]


*[Tex \Large 1 \text{ year} = (1*365*24*60)\text{ minutes}]


*[Tex \Large 1 \text{ year} = 525,600 \text{ minutes}]


There are about 525,600 minutes in 1 year
Since there are about 2.8 million births in 1 year, we can form the ratio
2.8 million births : 525,600 minutes


Which is the same as writing out
2,800,000 births : 525,600 minutes


Now divide both parts of that ratio by 525,600 to turn the "525,600 minutes" into "1 minute"


So we get
2,800,000 births : 525,600 minutes
(2,800,000)/(525,600) births : (525,600)/(525,600) minutes
5.32724505327246 births : 1 minutes


We have about 5.32724505327246 births every 1 minute
Rounded to two decimal places to simplify things a bit, we have about 5.33 births per minute.


Answer: Approximately 5.33 births per minute
