An animal breathes approximately 25 times per minute. Part A: About how many seconds would it take to breathe one million times? Part B: How many minutes would it take to breathe one million times? Part C: How many hours would it take to breathe one million times? Part D: How many days would it take to breathe one million times? Part E: How many years would it take to breathe one million times?
Accepted Solution
A:
Step-by-step explanation:A. Distance = rate × time1,000,000 breaths = 25 breaths/min × tt = 40,000 minOne minute is 60 seconds, so:t = 40,000 min × (60 s / min)t = 2,400,000 sB. We already answered this in part A. 40,000 minutes.C. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so:t = 40,000 min × (1 hr / 60 min)t = 666.67 hrD. There are 24 hours in a day, so:t = 666.67 hr × (1 day / 24 hr)t = 27.78 daysE. There are 365 days in a year, so:t = 27.78 day × (1 yr / 365 day)t = 0.076 years
