Chapter 28, Problem 7WIO

Many children believe that a piece of swallowed chewing gum will remain in the body for 7 years. Chewing gum is made of an indigestible polymer that does not dissolve in water. Since the gum cannot be digested, what happens to it after it is swallowed? Given your answer, does the 7-year timescale make sense? Propose an alternative prediction for how long it might take instead, and explain your reasoning.
