Problema Solution
There were 305 million crimes commited in the United States in 2008. Express this quantity in terms of crimes per second and crimes per American
Answer provided by our tutors
since 2008 is a leap year (4|2008) thus it has 366 days or
1 year = 366 days = 366*24*60*60 seconds
we need to find the rate of crimes per second
305^10^6/(366*24*60*60) = 9.65 crimes per second
In 2008, it is an estimated that 304,095,000 lived in America so the average of crimes per person will be
305,000,000/304,095,000 = 1 crime per American.
