If an API reports 99.5% uptime over a 7-day week, how many minutes of downtime does this represent? (Assume 7 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes)
A72 minutes
B50.4 minutes
C504 minutes
D302.4 minutes
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Calculate total minutes in 7 days

    7 x 24 x 60 = 10080 minutes total.
  2. Step 2: Calculate downtime minutes

    Downtime = total minutes x (1 - uptime%) = 10080 x 0.005 = 50.4 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Recheck calculation

    Since 99.5% uptime means 0.5% downtime, 0.005 x 10080 = 50.4 minutes.
  4. Final Answer:

    50.4 minutes -> Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    Downtime = Total x (1 - uptime) [OK]
Quick Trick: Downtime = total minutes x (1 - uptime fraction) [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Using 0.5 instead of 0.005 for downtime fraction
  • Mixing hours and minutes
  • Incorrect multiplication order
