Solution

First, we need to understand that a minute consists of 60 seconds.

The boy takes 14 breaths in 60 seconds.

To find out how many breaths he takes in 30 seconds, we can set up a proportion:

14 breaths/60 seconds = x breaths/30 seconds

To solve for x, we cross-multiply:

14 breaths * 30 seconds = x breaths * 60 seconds

This simplifies to 420 = 60x

Finally, we divide both sides by 60 to solve for x:

x = 420 / 60

x = 7 breaths

So, the boy will take 7 breaths in 30 seconds.
