Question

When Jacob is walking briskly, his heart beats 17 times in 10 seconds. What is Jacob's heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) when walking? HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

Answer: 102 BPM

Step-by-step explanation:

A minute has 60 seconds. You have 17 beats in 10 seconds. You could do a simple multiplication by 6 to get to the 60 seconds you need or you could say:

17 beats .......... 10 seconds

x beats .......... 60 seconds

`(17*60)/(10) =102`

x = 102 bpm
