Question

Approximately 31,400 citizens of a country died in automobile accidents in 2015. Express this toll in deaths per day.

Answer 1

86.0273973 deaths per day.

Explanation:

Assuming that the amount of people dying per day are proportional to each other, we can predict that 31,400 people divided by 365 days (1 year) is equal to how many people die per day to automobile accidents.

Therefore:

31400/365 = answer

86.0273973 deaths per day.

Answer 2

There are 365 days in a year.

There was 31,400 citizens who died in the country in 2015

31,400/365 = about 86.027. So about 86 death per day
