Answer 1

To find the number of times an average person blinks in a year, we can multiply the number of blinks per hour by the number of hours in a day (24) and the number of days in a year (365).

So, 15 blinks per hour x 24 hours per day x 365 days per year = 131,400 blinks per year.

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