Question

Jorge measured his heart rate after jogging. He counted 11 beats during a 6-second interval. What was the rate of Jorge's heart rate in beats per minute?

A) 110 bpm

B) 220 bpm

C) 66 bpm

Answer 1

Jorge's heart rate after jogging is 110 bpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the heart rate in beats per minute, we can use the fact that heart rate is the number of beats per unit of time. In this case, we have the number of beats (11) and the time interval (6 seconds). To convert the time interval to minutes, we can divide it by 60. The heart rate is then calculated by dividing the number of beats by the time interval in minutes:

Heart rate = Number of beats / Time interval in minutes

Heart rate = 11 / (6 / 60) = 11 / 0.1 = 110 beats per minute.

So, the rate of Jorge's heart rate is 110 bpm.
