There are 60 minutes in an hour, therefore:

Breaths per hour = 12 X 60, 15 X 60
= 720 to 900 breaths per hour

There are 24 hours in a day, therefore:

Breaths per day = 720 X 24, 900 X 24
= 17,280 to 21,600 breaths per day.
This differs between adults and kids, so:
A child breathes around 28,800 times a day.
An Adult breathes around 23040 times a day.

Hope this helps!

On an approximate scale, A child breaths 20 times a minute as compared to only 12 to 16 in resting phase of an Adult.

So, In 60 minutes (1 hour), They breathe = 20 * 60 = 1200
In 24 hours (1 day), They breathe = 1200 * 24 = 28,800

In short, Your Answer would be: 28,800

Hope this helps!
