123.5

To determine the number of vertebrae in the human body, we need to know the total number of bones in the human body and the proportion that are vertebrae. Let's first find out the average number of bones in the human body.

The total number of bones in the human body varies slightly from person to person, but on average, an adult human has 206 bones. However, this number may change depending on factors such as age, sex, and individual differences.

Now, let's calculate the number of bones that are vertebrae. We already know that about 12.6% of the bones in the human body are vertebrae. To find the actual count, we can multiply the total number of bones by the proportion (as a decimal) that are vertebrae.

Number of vertebrae = Total number of bones × Proportion of bones that are vertebrae

Number of vertebrae = 206 bones × 0.126

Number of vertebrae ≈ 26

Therefore, there are approximately 26 vertebrae in the human body.
