Answer:

42.857 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The average adult heart pumps about 84./mLs of blood at 72 beats per minute.

The total volume = 3600 mL

The objective is to calculate how long it would take the average heart circulate 3600 mL of blood.

Since 84 mL of blood takes 1 seconds to pump,

assuming q is the time required for heart to pump 3600 mL of blood


Time \ ( q )= (3600 mL * 1\ seconds)/(84 \ mL)

TIme (q) = 42.857 seconds
