Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean beats per minute (BPM)? To find that, take your index & middle fingers and place them together on your neck or wrist where you feel your heartbeat. Take a timer or stopwatch and count how many beats you feel in 15 seconds. Multiply this number by 4 to get your BPM (alternatively, you could also count for 30 seconds and multiply by two, or for the full minute, but 15 seconds is a lot faster and easier). If you need a resting BPM, either take it when you wake up in the morning (most accurate), or rest for a while.

I hope this helps!
