103,680 ÷ 1,440 = 72
An average persons heart beats at about 72 times per minute.

To find the answer is,
How many seconds are there in a minute? {60}sec.
Then you take "103,680 and divide by 60, that's the minute(s), that I put in seconds, and we are trying to find out.
(103,680÷60)=1728 and if you want to make sure this is correct just multiply (1738*60) you'll get the answer of 103,680.
Therefore, 1728 is the answer. Hoped this helped! xD
