Fermi problems:
What is the volume of air that I breathe in one day?
It takes about 10 breaths to blow up a balloon the size of a two-liter bottle. So, that means I breathe about one liter of air for every five breaths. I breathe about 10 times every minute, so I breathe about two liters of air every minute. This means that in an hour, I breathe about 120 liters of air. So each day, I breathe about 2,880 liters of air.
