estimate how many times you breathe in a year.?

Answer 1

I just breathed 12 times in 1 minute = 720 times in 1 hour
720 in 1 hour = 17,280 in a day = 6,307,200 breaths in a year.

Should be about right, rate will slow down at night but speed up when I am more active so average should be right

ps - I do a lot of sport, so my breathing is slower than the average person

Answer 2

umm ok very random question but i like it.

well I'm ill at the moment so I'm breathing a lot more then normal,

16 times a minute so, 960 an hour, 23040 a day, 161280 a week, 645120 a month, therefore 7741440 a year!! im breathing more just thinking about it

Answer 3

I looked around and found a site that seemed to indicate that 15 breaths/minute was a reasonable average for adult humans

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007198.htm

I'm sure this depends on how much exercise a person does, their weight, their health over all, but once you have a number you like there, the rest is easy

you could count your own breaths in a minute at rest and excersizing and estimate your own personal rate, but I went with 15 per minute

15 beats/min*(60 min/hr)*(24 hrs/day)*(365 days/yr)=

7,884,000 breaths/yr

Answer 4

Very rough estimate 37 could be higher

Answer 5

over 8 million

Answer 6

20 times a minute times 60 times 24 times 365, that's,... ehm... loads of times!

Answer 7

a billion trillion times

Answer 8

Umm, enough I think, but I tend to get tried so I stop breathing for a few minutes.

But if I had to make a proper guess, I recon..................................
