Problem

A computer can do 10,000 additions per second. How many additions can it do in one hour?

\text{(A)}\ 6\text{ million} \qquad \text{(B)}\ 36\text{ million} \qquad \text{(C)}\ 60\text{ million} \qquad \text{(D)}\ 216...

Solution

There are 3600 seconds per hour, so we have \begin{align*}\frac{3600\text{ seconds}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{10,000\text{ additions}}{\text{second}} &= \frac{36,000,...

\boxed{\text{B}}
