Question

The resting heart rate of an adult is usually about 60 beats per minute. Use your completed table to find approximately how many minutes it will take for the average resting heart to beat 1,000,000 times.

Answer 1

if 60 beats = 1 minute, and a minute is 60 seconds then 1,000,000 beats has to be divided by 60 = 16667 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand and divide that by 1440 (How many seconds in a day) = 11.574 days.

That equates to 11days, 13hours, 46 min, and 40 sec

Answer 2

It will take 16667 minutes for the average resting heart to beat 1,000,000 times.

Explanation:

The resting heart rate of an adult is usually about 60 beats per minute.

So, the heart will beat 1,000,000 times in =
`(1000000)/(60)`

= 16666.67 minutes rounded to 16667 minutes.

This becomes 11.57 days.
