How to do this question plz answer me step by step plzz plz plz plz plz I really struggling

 48

There are many approaches to estimating stuff like this, so there isn't one set answer. My approach is shown below.

1 min = 60 sec

30 min = 1800 sec (multiply both sides by 30)

1/2 hr = 1800 sec (replace "30 min" with "1/2 hr")

The value 2014 is fairly close to 1800, so roughly every half hour we have a prize being won. This is an overestimate.

There are 24 hours in a day, so 24*2 = 48 half-hour periods in a day, meaning we have an estimated 48 prizes in a full day. This is an overestimate as well.

Extra info:

If you're curious about finding the more accurate value, then you could follow these steps

1 prize = 2014 seconds

x prizes = 86400 seconds (number of seconds in a full day)

1/x = 2014/86400

1*86400 = x*2014

86400 = 2014x

2014x = 86400

x = 86400/2014

x = 42.8997020854021

Round down to get x = 43. We round down because there isn't enough time to get that 44th prize. The value 43 is fairly close to 48, and we can see our earlier estimate of 48 was an overestimate.

step-by-step explanation:

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
