A certain highway intersection has had A accidents over a ten-year period, resulting in B deaths. What is the yearly average death rate for the intersection?

Answer 1

To calculate the yearly average death rate for the intersection, you need to find the average number of deaths per year over the ten-year period. You can do this by dividing the total number of deaths (B) by the total number of years (10).

The formula for the yearly average death rate is:

\[ \text{Yearly average death rate} = \frac{B}{10} \]

Where:

• \( B \) is the total number of deaths,
• \( 10 \) is the number of years.

After performing this calculation, you will have the average annual death rate at the intersection.
