Question

A scientist works out that a human blinks approximately 8 × 106 times

per year.
Use this value to calculate approximately how many times a human
blinks in 3 years.
Give your answer in standard form.

Answer 1

A human blinks approximately 2.4 × 10^7 times in 3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A human blinks approximately 8 × 10^6 times per year. To calculate approximately how many times a human blinks in 3 years, we multiply the number of blinks per year by the number of years: 8 × 10^6 × 3 = 24 × 10^6 = 2.4 × 10^7. Therefore, a human blinks approximately 2.4 × 10^7 times in 3 years.
