Question

Dimensional analysis. How many years of your life will you be sleep if you live 3.95 x 10^7 minutes and average 8 hours sleep/night.

Answer 1

The total years of sleep = 25.05 years

Explanation:

Given total time in minutes = 3.95 x 10^7

Now convert the total time in hours = (3.95 x 10^7) / 60 = 658333.333 hours

Now covert the total hours into the day. Since a day has 24 hours so divide the total hours by 24 = 658333.333 / 24 = 27430.5555 days.

A person sleeps 8 hours a day, so total hours of sleep = 8 × a number of days.

A person sleeps 8 hours a day, so total hours of sleep = 8 × 27430.5555 days.

Thus, total sleeping hours = 219444.444

Now convert it into a number of years.

Convert total hours into the day and then years.

Number of days = 219444.444 / 24 = 9143.5185 days.

Now covert the total days in to years = 9143.5185 / 365 = 25.05 years
