That would only give you a 48 week year Paul, you have to divide by 52 to get the number of years. It's 1 year and 47 weeks and a couple of days.

Add 20,5 and 2 = 27p (one of each coin) Divide £8.10 by 27 = 30 So thirty of each coin. Magsx

20p x 30 =£6.00 5p x 30 = £1.50 2p x 30 = 60p = £8.10 Karen Phew!!

It's definitely a Monday at around 5.35 am that the clock would stop if it is a leap year, otherwise it is a Tuesday. 1 million minutes are 694.44 days. Minus 365 days for a normal year leaves 47 weeks and 10 and a half hours.

1,000,000 divided by 60 by 24 by 7 means the battery will last for 99.206345 weeks which is 99 weeks 1.44 days so it should run out on a Tuesday.

Unknown Report 13 Mar 2005 19:47

There are 52 weeks and 1 day in a normal year. 52 x 7 = 364.
