Question

Assuming you breathe once every 10 seconds, how many breaths do you take in 3 weeks

Answer 1

181,440

Explanation:

so first we got to multiply 1 times 6 since one breath is 10 seconds so that take it to 6 breaths every minute. then we multiply that by 60 so it makes and hour to make 360. then you multiply that with 24 since that is how many hours are in a day and you get 8,640. then you multiply that by 7 to get 60,480. then you multiply by 3 and you get 181,440 as a result. hope i helped im in 10th grade so.

Answer 2

In 3 weeks, you take 181440 breaths.

Explanation:

1. Set up a rule of 3.

10 seconds ----> 1 breath

3 weeks --------> x

2. Convert 3 weeks into seconds.

3 weeks * 7= 21 days

21 days * 24= 504 hours

504 hours * 60= 30240 minutes

30240 minutes * 60= 1814400 seconds.

3. Rewrite and solve the rule of 3 with the converted units.

10 seconds ------------> 1 breath

1814400 seconds ---> x

x= (1814400 seconds * 1 breath) / 10 seconds

x= 181440 breaths.

4. Express your result.

In 3 weeks, you take 181440 breaths.
