The human body has 209 bones, and 2.9% of them are in the inner ear. How many bones are in the ear?

Asked by girlygirly

Answer (3)

first, we should change this question into an expression. - we convert the percent into decimal 209 × 0.029 = 6.061 (I used a calculator for this)
So there are approximately 6 bones in the inner ears, which is approximately 3 bones in each ear.
hope this helps

The calculated number of bones in the ear based on a percentage is approximately six. However, the actual number of bones in the human ear is three: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These bones play a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear.
