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

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Average time we inhale = $\frac{1}{3 s}$

Number of times we inhale in 24 hours be x

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

$\frac{x}{86,400 s}=\frac{1}{3 s}$

$x=\frac{86,400 s}{3 s}=28,800$

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