Question

A person breathes 2.5 x 10^-4 in about cubic meters of air per second. How long does it take to breathe in 2.5 cubic meters of air?

Answer 1

Answer:

10⁴ seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person breathes $2.5\times 10^{-4}$ in about cubic meters of air per second.

We need to find time taken to breathe 2.5 cubic meters of air.

In 1 sec = $2.5\times 10^{-4}$ m³ of air breathe

Let in x seconds, 2.5 m³ of air taken by the person.

$x=\dfrac{2.5}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}\\\\x=10^4\ s$

Hence, in 10⁴ seconds 2.5 m³ of air is taken by the person.
