The number of times Sam blinks in a day is 36,654 blinks.
The given parameters:
number of blinks in 22 seconds = 14
number of hours Sam sleeps = 8 hours;
To find:
- The total number of blinks Sam makes in a day
The total number of hours in a day = 24 hours
The total number of hours that Sam doesn't sleep = 24 hours - 8 hours = 16 hours
The total number of blinks that Sam makes in 16 hours is calculated as follows;
[tex]16 \ hours = 16 \times 3600 \ seconds= 57,600 \ seconds\\\\The \ number \ of \ blinks = \frac{57,600 \ s \times 14 \ blinks}{22 \ s} = 36,654.54 \ blinks \\\\The \ number \ of \ blinks \approx 36,654 \ blinks[/tex]
Thus, the number of times Sam blinks in a day is 36,654 blinks.
