398,326,376 words and thats a lot...-So Sarah can speak 76 words in a second.......
Sarah can speak 76 in a second .how many words can Sarah speak in 2011? (the year)

so i hate multiplication so help thanks !!!

My guess is that it's asking how many words can "Sarah" speak in a year.

There are 31,556,926 seconds in a year. So multiply that by 76 and...

2,398,326,376 words and that's a lot...

So Sarah can speak 76 words in a second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so Sarah can speak 76 x 60 = 4560 words per minute.

There are 60 minutes in a hour, so she can speak 4560 x 60 = 273 600 words per hour.

There are 24 hours in a day, so she can speak 273 600 x 24 = 6 566 400 words a day

Therefore, in a 31 day month she will speak 6 566 400 x 31 = 203 558 400 words.
In a 30 day month she will speak 6 566 400 x 30 = 196 992 000 words.
In a 28 day month she will speak 6 566 400 x 28 = 183 859 200 words.

There are twelve months in a year. Four of these are 30 day months (September, April, June and November) and seven are 31 day months. February has 28 days (except in leap years when it has 29 days, 2011 was not a leap year).

Therefore, in 2011, Sarah will speak:

(4 x 196 992 000) + (7 x 203 558 400) + (1 x 183 859 200) = 2 396 736 000 words.

OR! Instead of over-complicating this like i have, multiply the number of words she can speak in a day by the number of days in a year: 6 566 400 x 365 = 2 396 736 000 words

take 76 times 60 take that answer times 60 take that answer times 24 take that times 168 take that times 4 or 5 (the weeks in one month) take that answer times 52(: im not sure if you take it times 12 for the months in a year or 52 the weeks in a year..

first = 1 sec
second = 1 min
third = 1 day
fourth = 24 times 7(days in a week)
fifth = weeks in a month
6th = 52 weeks in a year

1 year =  31556926 seconds
Multiply that by 76 and you get

2,398,326,376 words

1yr=365d
1d=24hr
365x24=8760hr
60min=1hr
60x8760=52600min
60sec=1min
52600x60=31536000sec
31536000x76=239736000words
239736000words
