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。
