What I think you would do is make a proportion. Do 2.8 million over 365 because there are 365 days in a year. Then write an equal sign and then x over 525,600 because that's how many minutes there are in a year and x is your variable. It's should end up like this:

2,800,000/365 = x/525,600 then you can cross multiply and solve for x.

Answer:

5 deaths per minutes ( approx  )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 1 year = 365 days,

1 day = 24 hours,

1 hour = 60 minutes,

⇒ 1 year = 365 × 24 × 60 = 525600 minutes,

Given,

The deaths in 1 year = 2800000

Deaths in 525600 minutes = 2800000

Deaths in 1 minute = [tex]\frac{2800000}{525600}=5.32724505327\approx 5[/tex]

Hence, there are 5 deaths per minute ( approx ).
