Question

Approximately 32,800 citizens of a country died in automobile accidents in 2015. Express this toll in deaths per day.

Answer 1

32,800/365=89.86
you have about 90 deaths per day

Answer 2

The answer is 89.86 deaths per day

Explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about rates. We use "rates" when we want to express a fraction of two measures and a specific unit rate. Depending on the unit rate that we want, one measure will be in the numerator and the other in the denominator.

In this case, we want the unit rate of deaths per day, so we have to use the amount of died citizens in the numerator and the amount of days in the denominator.

We have the next informations:

died citizens=32,800

days=365 (in one year)

`Rate=(32800)/(365)= 89.86`

Finally, there is 89.86 deaths per day.
