Question

On average, an adult at rest breathes in and out 12 times per

minute. About how many breaths will an adult at rest take in a
day?

Ps: math problem!

Answer 1

288 breaths per day

Explanation:

One minute has 60 seconds, so an adult at rest breathes in and out 12/60 = 0.2 times per second.

One hour has 60 minutes, so an adult at rest breathes in and out 0.2 x 60 = 12 times per hour.

One day has 24 hours, so an adult at rest breathes in and out 12 x 24 = 288 times per day.
