story problem: 3 mil births/yr, how many births per min?

[ElginMel]

There are approximately 3 million births in the United States each year. Find the birth rate in births per minute.

Can someone please explain how to set this problem up? I can't seem to get it. Thanks a bunch!

(number of births per year)/(number of minutes in a year) = (number of births per minute)
