Assuming that you breathe once in every 12 seconds, how many breaths do you take in 4 weeks? You must show the use of units.
(1 b/12 s)(3600 s/hr)(24 hr/d)(7 d/wk)(4 wk) = 201,600 b
(60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 7 days * 4 weeks) = _____ breaths
1/12 of that Ms Sue because 12 seconds for each breath
I got two different answers from those two different solutions
Okay I got it now
Oops! Thanks, Damon. I intended to divide -- but forgot to type it.
To find out how many breaths you take in 4 weeks, we need to determine the number of breaths per second and then multiply it by the total number of seconds in 4 weeks.
First, let's calculate the number of breaths per second. We know that you breathe once every 12 seconds. To convert this to breaths per second, we can take the reciprocal: 1 breath / 12 seconds = 1/12 breaths per second.
Next, we need to determine the total number of seconds in 4 weeks. Since there are 7 days in a week, and 24 hours in a day, and 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute, we can calculate it as follows:
4 weeks * 7 days/week * 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = 1,209,600 seconds
Now, we can multiply the breaths per second by the total number of seconds to find out how many breaths you take in 4 weeks:
(1/12 breaths per second) * (1,209,600 seconds) = 100,800 breaths
Therefore, assuming you breathe once every 12 seconds, you would take approximately 100,800 breaths in 4 weeks.
