Answer :

To determine how many times the average person blinks in a day, we can follow a simple calculation:

1. Know the Rate of Blinking per Hour:
It is given that the average person blinks 1,100 times per hour.

2. Know the Number of Hours in a Day:
There are 24 hours in a day.

3. Calculate Total Blinks in a Day:
To find out how many times a person blinks in a day, you multiply the number of blinks per hour by the number of hours in a day:
[tex]\[
\text{Blinks per day} = 1,100 \times 24
\][/tex]

When you complete this multiplication, you find:
[tex]\[
1,100 \times 24 = 26,400
\][/tex]

Therefore, the average person blinks 26,400 times in a day. So, the correct answer is 26,400.
