Question: Ross takes 17 breaths per minute by inhaling 5/9 liter of air to his lungs. What is the volume of air inhaled in 24 hours?
Solution:
We have 60 minutes per hour.
So, in 24 hours we have 60 * 24 = 1440 minutes.
So, the volume of air Ross inhaled in 24 hours is: 17 breaths/minute * 5/9 L/breath * 1440 minutes = 122400 / 9 = 13600 liters.
The volume of air inhaled is 13600 liters.
Answer: 13600
