The average eye blinks once every 5 seconds.Is that more than or less than a hundred thousand times per day?Explain your answer.
I think the eyes blinks less than a hundred thousand times.I say this because in60 seconds the eyes would blink 12times,so for one day i think the eyes would only blink for 1,224 times .I would like to know if my answer is right.

12 per minute
12 * 60 = 720 per hour
720 * 24 = 17,280 per day
less than a hundred thousand times
I say this because in 60 seconds the eyes would blink 12 times for one day. I would only blink for 1,224 times.
5 seconds
I know nothing
To verify whether your answer is correct, let's calculate the number of times the eyes blink in a day.
First, we need to find out how many blinks occur in one minute. You correctly calculated that in 60 seconds, the eyes blink 12 times.
Next, we need to calculate the total blinks in an hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we multiply the number of blinks per minute (12) by 60, which gives us 720 blinks per hour.
Now, to find the total blinks in a day, we multiply the number of blinks per hour (720) by 24 (hours in a day). This gives us 17,280 blinks per day.
Therefore, your answer of 1,224 blinks per day is not correct. The average number of blinks per day is actually 17,280 blinks.
On the other hand, to determine if this is more or less than a hundred thousand blinks, we need to compare the two numbers.
Since 17,280 is less than 100,000, we can conclude that the average number of eye blinks per day is less than a hundred thousand.
