The average number of alveoli in each human lung is 280 million. The average surface area of 1 million alveoli is 0.25m squares. What’s the total surface area of a human lung?

If 1 million alveoli have a surface area of 0.25m sq, then to work out the total surface area of 280 million you’ll have to multiply 0.25 by 280. No. of alveolI: SA of alveoli 1 million. : 0.25m sq 280 million. : 70m sq The scale factor on the left is 280, and so will it be for the right. Hope this helps.

Experienced tutor and undergraduate at University of Bristol

Specialising in Maths Tuition. I have graduated with a Maths degree from Bristol in 2012 and since then I have worked in Finance and provided private maths tuition up to GCSE. My approach to tutoring is simple but effective. I would like to have a conversation with the student before our first session in order to understand what their weakness is. I will then work with the students on topics they are struggling with or don't understand with intermediate tests in between to make sure methods are understood. This then helps them persevere at school as they understand concept and exams.
