If there are 150 people born in the world every minute; how many people are born every hour? Day?
5 answers
just multiply 150 by the number of minutes in an hour or day.
First, I would put all the times to one unit. (I'm going to use minutes because I don't like working with decimals.)
1 hour: 60 minutes
1 day: 60 minutes times 24 (hours in a day) = 1440 minutes
Now set up proportions:
150 people/1 minute = x people/60 minutes
cross multiply and solve for x.
x=150 times 60
x= 9000 people
9000 people are born per hour.

your next proportion will look like this:
150 people/ 1 minute = x/ 1440 minutes (per day)
cross multiply and solve for x and you have your answer!
x = 150 times 1440
x = 21600
1 hour: 60 minutes
1 day: 60 minutes times 24 (hours in a day) = 1440 minutes
Now set up proportions:
150 people/1 minute = x people/60 minutes
cross multiply and solve for x.
x=150 times 60
x= 9000 people
9000 people are born per hour.

140 times 1,0024 divded by 368 times 3/4 divded by 83,000 times 1.3 times 8>4 divded by 3/33 =
Per hour - 60 minutes
So, 60 minutes × 150 people
- 9000 people
- Every hour 9000 people born.
-----------
Per day- 24 hours
- 60 minutes × 24 hours
- 1440 minutes
So, 1440 minutes × 150 people
- 216000 people
- Every day 216000 people born.
So, 60 minutes × 150 people
- 9000 people
- Every hour 9000 people born.
-----------
Per day- 24 hours
- 60 minutes × 24 hours
- 1440 minutes
So, 1440 minutes × 150 people
- 216000 people
- Every day 216000 people born.
