Short Answer

Expert verified

A person blinks 672768000 times in a lifetime

Step by step solution

01

Number of average blink per day

A normal person blinks on an average of 16 times per minute.

The number of time a person blink in one year will be,

n=16timesmin×60min1hr×24hr1day×365day1yearn=8409600times/year

02

Number of blinks in a lifetime

Considering the life of an average person is 80 years, then the number of blinks in whole life will be,

n=80year×8409600times/yearn=672768000times

Thus, a person blinks 672768000 times in a lifetime.
