To find the number of sunny days in the Southern region each year, let's go through the problem step-by-step:
1. Identify the total number of days in a year:
- A standard year has 365 days.
2. Identify the percentage of sunny days for the Southern region:
- According to the data, 68% of the days in the Southern region are sunny.
3. Calculate the number of sunny days:
- We need to find 68% of 365 days.
4. Multiplication:
- To find this, we use the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of sunny days} = \frac{\text{Percentage of sunny days}}{100} \times \text{Total number of days}
\][/tex]
- Substitute the values into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of sunny days} = \frac{68}{100} \times 365
\][/tex]
5. Perform the calculation:
- The result of this multiplication is 248.20000000000002.
Therefore, the number of days each year when the sun shines in the Southern region is approximately 248 days.
