Suppose a person were to breath an average of 16 times per minute.

How many years would it take for them to breath one billion times? Assume there are 365 days in one year. Round your answer to the nearest single year.

1 answer

If b is breaths, then

10^9 b * 1min/16b * 1day/1440min * 1yr/365day = 118.9 years

This makes sense, since 1 billion seconds is about 30 years.
