Question

Scott counted 23 beats in 10 seconds. What is his approximate heart rate?

123 bpm
130 bpm
138 bpm
230 bpm

Answer 1

138!
23 x 6 = 138, hence your answer will be D

Answer 2

138 bpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are calculating beats per minute (bpm). In this case, Scott counted 23 beats in 10 seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so multiply by 6:

(23 beats/10 seconds) x (6/6) = (138 beats/60 seconds).

Scotts approximate heart rate is 138 bpm.
