A cell is 1/1,000 of an inch. How many cells in an average human body, which is 66 inches (5'6")?
there are 1000 cells/inch
so, in 66 inches, there are 66000 cells
This is a poorly worded problem, however, since it does not say anything about width and depth. It appears that a cell is considered to be a thin slice, 1/000" thick, across the whole body.
BOGUS problem!
Or, you have not included everything given. :-(
To determine the number of cells in an average human body, which is 66 inches, we need to calculate how many cells fit into one inch and then multiply it by 66.
Given that a cell is 1/1,000 of an inch, we can find how many cells fit into one inch by taking the reciprocal:
1 / (1/1,000) = 1,000
So there are 1,000 cells in one inch.
Now, to find the number of cells in a 66-inch human body, we multiply the number of cells per inch by the total number of inches:
1,000 cells/inch × 66 inches = 66,000 cells
Therefore, an average human body contains approximately 66,000 cells.
