一单位血液在 $10! = 10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8 \cdots 1$ 秒后过期。Yasin 在 1 月 1 日中午捐赠了一单位血液。他的血液单位在哪一天过期?
(A)
January 2
1月2日
(B)
January 12
1月12日
(C)
January 22
1月22日
(D)
February 11
2月11日
(E)
February 12
2月12日
Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Answer (E): Converting \(10!\) seconds to days gives
\[
\frac{10!}{60\cdot 60\cdot 24}
=\frac{10\cdot 9\cdot 8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 120}{60\cdot 120\cdot 12}
=\frac{9\cdot 8\cdot 7}{12}
=42.
\]
Because 30 days after January 1 is January 31, 42 days after January 1 is February 12.
答案(E):将 \(10!\) 秒换算成天数:
\[
\frac{10!}{60\cdot 60\cdot 24}
=\frac{10\cdot 9\cdot 8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 120}{60\cdot 120\cdot 12}
=\frac{9\cdot 8\cdot 7}{12}
=42.
\]
因为 1 月 1 日后的第 30 天是 1 月 31 日,所以 1 月 1 日后的第 42 天是 2 月 12 日。
