Question

Sam counted 14 blinks in 22 seconds. How many times does Sam blink in a day if we assume he sleeps for eight hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 36654.52

Step-by-step explanation:

alright so if there are 86400 seconds in a day we substract 28800 bc thats how many seconds we have in 8 eight hours. That is 57600. divide it by 22, which is 2618.18. And multiply it by 14 bc thats how many times he blinks in 22 seconds. 36654.52

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

24hours=86400seconds

8hours =28800seconds

Sam sleeps for 28800second

so 86400-28800=57600seconds.

Sam is awake for 57600seconds.

14blinks in 22seconds

xblinks in 57600seconds.

cross multiply

we have

22x = 806400

x=36654.5

Sam blinks for 36654.5 in a day
