The answer would be3.8356164375. This is because you have to divide 33,600 by 365 which gives you 92.0547945. The number 365 because of the amount days in a year. So that gave you the deaths per day. So then you divide it by 24. The number 24 because of 24 hours in a day. So, 92.0547945 by 24, this will give you the hourly rate of deaths.
