1 in 100

                Not a lot of people know that out of all the babies born around the world. 1 in 100 of them are born with a heart defect. Now when someone says a statistic like this it's a nice statistic to know. but it's hard to understand what exactly a statistic means without a little more background. So 1 in 100 babies, but how many babies are born in a day? According to a census taken in 2010. There are over 361,000 births each day. With that number, that means there are approximately 251 babies born throughout the world each and every minute.Out of those 251 babies 2 of them will have a heart defect. So 2 babies every minute, 120 babies every hour is born with a heart defect.
