Kristin Garcia · Answer 1

In one year, there are 365 days

365x24=8760 hours

8760x60=525 600 minutes

Dividing 2.6 million to the last number (525 600), we find death per minute in this country, which gives us more than 4 deaths in a minute.

Darwin Foster · Answer 2

Take 2.7 million divided by the number of minutes in a year. 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 day = 24 hours So you take 24 hours * 60 minutes = 1440 minutes 1 year = 365 per minute.
