If a Siren sounds for every 5 seconds, how many times will it sound in ¾ of an hour?

Correct Answer: 541 times

Explanation:

There are 60 minutes in an hour.


In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × ¾) minutes = 45 minutes.


In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × 45) seconds = 2700 seconds.


Siren sounds for every 5 seconds.


In 2700 seconds = 2700/5 = 540 times.
