Question

A person's resting heart rate is typically between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Noah looks at his watch, and counts 8 heartbeats in 10 seconds. a. Is his heart rate typical? (Yes or no) b. What is Noahs resting heart rate per minute?

Answer 1

Noah's heart rate is not typical and his resting heart rate per minute is 48 beats.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Noah's heart rate is not typical because he counted 8 heartbeats in 10 seconds, which is higher than the normal resting heart rate range of 60-100 beats per minute.

b. To find Noah's resting heart rate per minute, we can use the formula: heart rate per minute = (number of heartbeats / number of seconds) x 60. Plugging in the values, we get: heart rate per minute = (8 / 10) x 60 = 48 beats per minute.
