21 The average person at rest takes approximately 16 breaths per minute. Approxir many breaths do they take in 70 years of 365 days each? Use a calculator. Write in exponential notation using powers of 10.​



Answer :

A person will take 5.88672 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex] breaths in 70 years.

Here, we are given that on average a person at rest takes approximately 16 breaths per minute.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Thus, in 1 hour a person will take-

60 × 16

= 960 breaths

Now, 1 day = 24 hours

Thus, in 1 day, a person will take-

24 × 960

= 23,040 breaths

Further, 1 year = 365 days

Thus, in 1 year, a person will take-

23,040 × 365

= 8,409,600 breaths

In 70 years, a person will take-

8,409,600 × 70

= 588,672,000 breaths

We can express this in exponential notation as-

5.88672 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex]

Thus, a person will take 5.88672 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex] breaths in 70 years.
