Suppose an average person blinks 15 times per hour. How many times does an average person blink in a year? Write the answer in scientific notation (Hint: 1 year = 365 days, 1 day = 24 hours).(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many times an average person blinks in a year, we need to multiply the number of blinks per hour by the number of hours in a day, multiplied by the number of days in a year.

Number of blinks per hour = 15
Number of hours in a day = 24
Number of days in a year = 365

So the total number of blinks in a year = 15 x 24 x 365 = 131,400

In scientific notation, this can be written as 1.314 × 10^5.
