Problema Solution
The great pyrqmid at giza contains 2,300,000 limestone blocks. If the pyramid was constructed continuously, 24 hours a day for 30 years, how many blocks were placed on the pyramid per hour?
Answer provided by our tutors
First lets find out the number of hours in 30 years.
We will consider: 1 year = 365 days, 1 day = 24 hours
30 years = 30*365 days = 30*365*24 hours
v = the number of blocks placed per hour
v = 2,300,000/(30*365*24)
v = 8.75 blocks per hour approximately
