Layla Case · Answer 1

b. 15.8 yr

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case they ask us to calculate the time in years, they already give us an amount of time in days. To calculate the time in years, we must divide by the equivalence between years and days, 1 year equals 365 normally, since we will not include when it is a leap year, since the variation is minimal, therefore

5768/365 = 1 5.8027

In other words, that equals 15.8 years, therefore the correct answer is b. 15.8 yr
