Answer 1

Part 1: 72 times/minute

Part 2: 150 times/minute

Part 3: 234 times

Step-by-step explanation

Part 1

18 times in 15 seconds when at rest.

In 1 second = 18/15

= 1.2 times/second

In 1 minute = 1.2×60

= 72 times/minute

Part 2

25 times in 10 seconds while running.

In 1 second = 25/10

= 2.5 times/second

In 1 minute = 2.5×60

= 150 times/minute

Part 3

In 3 minutes while at rest = 72×3 = 216

In 3 minutes while running = 150 × 3 = 450

How many more times does your friend's heart beat in 3 minutes while running than while at rest?

Answer = 450 - 216

= 234 times
