Question

restate the following fact as indicated. approximately 91.4 million passengers passed through a certain airport in 2019. because of the coronavirus pandemic, only 43.6 million passengers passed through the same airport in 2020. express these quantities in passengers per hour. there were 10,434 passengers per hour passing through the airport in 2019 (round to the nearest whole number as needed.) there were passengers per hour passing through the airport in 2020 (round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Know the number of hours in a year

There are 365 days in a non - leap year and 24 hours in a day. So the number of hours in a year is $365\times24 = 8760$ hours.

Step2: Calculate passengers per hour in 2020

The number of passengers in 2020 is 43.6 million = 43600000. To find the number of passengers per hour, divide the total number of passengers by the number of hours in a year. So, $\frac{43600000}{8760}\approx4977$

Answer:

4977
