How many times will it flash??

If a light flashes every 6 seconds, how many times will it flash in 3/4of an hour?


Answer: 
451 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.
            Light flashed for every 6 seconds.
                        In 2700 seconds 2700/6 = 450 times.
The count start after the first flash, the light will flashes 451 times in ¾ of an hour.
