Question

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

Answer 1

If he counted 11 beats in 6 seconds you divide 11 by 6 to get the beats per second. Which is 1.83 beats per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute so take 1.83 times 60 and his rate per minute would be 109.8 beats per minute.
