Question

If on average you inhale once every three seconds exactly,

how many times do you inhale in a 24-hour day?

Answer 1

Answer: 28,800

Explanation: so you inhale 20 times per minutes (60 seconds/3). So every hour you inhale 1,200 times. Multiply that by 24 to get the number of times you inhale per day.

Answer 2

We inhale 28,800 times in 24 hours or in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average time we inhale =
`(1)/(3 s)`

Number of times we inhale in 24 hours be x

24 hours = 24 × 60 × 60 seconds = 86,400 seconds

`(x)/(86,400 s)=(1)/(3 s)`

`x=(86,400 s)/(3 s)=28,800`

We inhale 28,800 times in 24 hours or in a day.
