Question

Approximately how old would you be in the years if you lived 1,000,000 hours? round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

First let's see how many hours are in a year:

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ year }\rightarrow\text{ 365 days} \\ 1\text{ day }\rightarrow\text{ 24 hours} \\ \Rightarrow1\text{ year }\rightarrow365\cdot24=8760\text{ hours} \end{gathered}`

We found that 1 year has 8769 hours, then if we lived 1,000,000 hours, we have to divide it by 8760 to know the number of years lived:

`(1000000)/(8760)=114.15`

therefore, you would have lived 114.15 years
