Question

Your heart beats over 100,000 times per day. Find the number of beats per second.

Answer 1

1.1574 heart beats per second

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you need to keep converting the units of time from day to hour to minutes to seconds. If a heart beats a 100,000x per day , the ratio of heart beats a day is 100,000 beats / 1 day .Use the equation below.

`(100,000 beats)/(1 day) * (1 day)/(24 hours) * (1 hour)/(60 minutes) * (1 minute)/(60 seconds)`

100,000/24/60/60 = 1.1574 beats a second

Answer 2

Multiply 24 60 minute hours
Multiply that by 60 seconds
1.16 beats per sec
