If one cigarette shortens a smoker’s life by 5.5 minutes, by how many minutes has the smoker shortened his or her life? The time span is if he starts smoking at 16 until 55

Respuesta :

Answer:

Research has shown that smoking reduces life expectancy by seven to eight years. On average, each cigarette shortens your life anywhere from seven to eleven minutes.

Explanation:

In other words, the time it takes you to smoke a cigarette equals the time that cigarette takes off of your life.

55 - 16 = ?

55 - 16 = 39

Number of minutes in one year is 525600

39 x 525600 = ?


39 x 525600 = 20498400

Then you would multiply 20498400 by 5.5 I believe

20498400 x 5.5 = ?


20498400 x 5.5 = 112741200
