1. How many times does your heart beat in a year?

We shall assume that I exercise for 2 hours for three days every week. Thus, I exercise for
60[mins per hour] x 2 [hours per day] x 3 [days per week] x 52 [weeks per year] = 18
720 mins per year

Therefore, we shall also assume that I do not exercise for 22 hours for three days and 24
hours for 4 days every week. Thus, 60 [mins per hour] x (22 [hours per day] x 3 [days
per week])+24[hours per day] x 4[days per week]) x 52 [weeks per year] = 505, 440
mins per year

We shall also assume that I did not experience any event that was too surprising or too
stressful, I was able to maintain a healthy diet, I was able to sleep sufficiently everyday, and I
did not take any medication that affected my heart rate.

3. I was at the grocery store, and saw two sizes of avocado being sold. The regular size
sold for P44 each, while the jumbo ones sold for P84 each. Which is the better deal?
[Del Mundo]
(By comparing the weight of the two different sized avocado, we can determine the yield of
each, in order to choose the better deal)
Note: The skin and seed of the avocado is also considered since store bought avocados
price its fruits by their overall weight.

REGULAR JUMBO

150 grams 200 grams

150 grams x 2 = 300 grams To compare the price of two regular size
with one jumbo:
P44 x 2 = P88
300 g = P88
Price of regular avocado per gram:
200 g = P84
150 g / P44 = P3.41/ g
300-200 = 100 g

100 g / P3.41 = P29.33

In order to calculate the better deal between the two avocados, we must multiply 150 grams
(regular) to two to calculate its yield compared to the jumbo sized avocado (200 grams).

If you buy two regular sized avocados, it will weigh a total of 300 grams (100 grams less
than one jumbo sized avocado). Since it is stated that the regular sized avocados sell for
P44 each and jumbo sized prized for P84, it is clear that buying ?… two regular sized
avocados would be a better deal than one jumbo size avocado because you only get to pay
4 pesos for an additional 100 grams. It is calculated that regular sized avocados sell for 3.41
grams per peso, so if you were to pay for the 100 grams, you would pay an additional 29.33
pesos.

4. How many liters of paint would be needed to paint a two-story house 40 ft long and
30 ft wide?

According to an online source, 1 gallon of paint will cover 400 square ft

Given:
Dimension of the house: 40 ft = length, 30 ft = width
Solve for liters of paint needed = ?

Solution:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 40 ft x 30 ft
Area = 1,200 square ft

Multiply the area to 4 since a house has four equal sides:

1, 200 square ft x 4 = 4,800 square ft

Conversion factor:
1 gallon = 400 square ft area
1 gallon = 3.785 liters

Solve for liters of paint needed by finding the square ft area:

4, 800 square ft / 400 square ft = 12
 Convert gallons to liters:
12 gallons x 3.785 liters = 45.42 liters of paint for single coating
45.42 x 2 = 90.84 liters of paint for dual coating

FINAL ANSWER: Realistically speaking, since we came up with an odd result because of
the decimal point, let us just make it whole since we can only buy a whole number of liters of
paint in the hardware.

46 liters of paint would be needed to paint a two-story house 40 ft long and 30 ft wide
(single coating)

91 liters of paint would be needed to paint a two-story house 40 ft long and 30 ft wide
(double coating)

5. Estimate how many times you blink in a day. [Dela Vega]

According to healthline, most people blink around 15 to 20 times each minute. Which means:

· 900-1,200 times an hour

· 14,400-19,200 times a day

· 100,800-134,400 times a week

· Between 5.2 and 7.1 million times a year

To estimate how many times I blink in a day, do three (3) trials and average the number of
times I blinked for a minute (60 seconds).
 Trial Number of times blinked

1 21

2 20

3 19

Total 60

Average 20

For each minute, I blink for an average of 20 times.

1 minute = 20 times

After finding the average, multiply it to 60 to know how many times I blink for an hour, since
there is a total of 60 minutes within an hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes

20 x 60 = 1,200 times

For each hour, I blink 1,200 times.

I sleep for approximately 6 hours most of the time and I am awake for 17 hours and 30
minutes. Now, convert how many hours I am awake, to minutes and add 30:

1 hour = 60 minutes

17 x 60 = 1,020 minutes

30 + 1,020 = 1,050 minutes

I am awake for approximately 1,050 minutes within a day.

After converting the time I am awake within a day to minutes, multiply the average of how
many times I blink per minute to 1,050 minutes.

1 minute = 20 times

20 x 1,050 = 21,000 times

I blink for an estimate of 21,000 times within a day.

6. How thick is a single sheet of paper (substance 20)? How much does it weigh?
7.
The average thickness of a single sheet of paper ranges from 0.05 to 0.10
millimeters but varies depending on the gsm or on the type of paper, like Uncoated
Paper (also referred to as Bond, Offset or Laser) or Coated Paper (Gloss, Silk, Matt).
The substance 20 uncoated paper has a thickness of 90 microns, or in conversion to
millimeters, is 0.09mm. On the other hand, the substance 20 Coated paper has a
thickness of 60 microns, or in mm, is 0.06mm. Each sheet of paper weighs 0.1696

8. You need to replace the roof of your house. About how much will the materials cost?

According to an article, the material cost to replace a roof varies on the chosen type
of material. The standard size of Galvanized Iron sheets is 4ft x 8ft and are priced at around
700 php per unit, excluding labor.
 Assuming that the house requires 20ft x 40ft of roofing that includes the overhang
and the overlapping of the sheets. Divide the total area by the size of a G.I. sheet to
determine the quantity needed.

length x width = area

20 ft x 40 ft = 800 ft2
4 ft x 8 ft = 32ft2
800 ft2 ÷ 32ft2 = 25 units

To identify the total cost of materials, multiply the number of units required to the price per
unit.

700 php x 25 = 17500 php

FINAL ANSWER:

The total cost material cost needed to replace the house is 17500 php excluding labor.

9. How much does the water in a 6-person hot tub weigh?

Based on the information online, a small hot tub for 2-3 persons has a water capacity
of 300 gallons. To determine the amount of water for a 6-person hot tub we need first to
divide the researched water capacity of a small hot tub to 2 and 3.

300/3 = 100

Hence, 100-150 gallons of water is allotted per person.

To identify the amount of water for a 6-person hot tub, multiply the yielded answer to 6.

100(6) = 600 gallons

Then, convert gallons to kilograms.

1 gallon = 3.7854 Kg
600 (3.7854) = 2271.24 Kg / 2271240 g

Hence, the weight of water in a 6-person hot tub is 2271.24 Kg / 2271240 g.
