Stage Four

Problem No. 16 10000 Times...

 

What is something that you might do 10 000 times in a day?

All Stage 4 Problems

It is really hard to comphrehend 10 000 times a day. You need to find out how often it is over shorter periods of time...

10 000 divided by 24 = 416.667 times per hour.

416.667 divided by 60 = 6.933 times per minute.

Which works out as about once every 9 seconds.

The common solutions were things such as:

From students at Ashford Central School: either breathe or your heart might beat

Or from Rachael at Hillston Central School: blink, breathe, heartbeat

Think about these: breathing could happen at this sort of rate, as could blinking. But a heart beating at about 7 time per minute is very close to a dead person - the slowest heartbeats of a human are in the 30-40 beats per minute range. I really can't think of anything else that would fit, let me know if you can.
