Answer:

Immediately after she ran the mile, her heart rate was 100 beats per minute.

Explanation:

If Kim ran a mile in Physical Education class, and after one hour of rest her heart rate was 60 beats per minute, having dropped 2/5 of the pace it had immediately after finishing running, to know what was said heart rate it is necessary to perform the following calculation:

2/5 = 0.4

Thus, her heart rate dropped 40%. Since 100-40 is equal to 60, your 60 beats are 60% of the heart rate immediately after running. Therefore, the post-exercise heart rate is derived from the following calculation:

60 = 60

100 = X

((100 x 60) / 60) = X

(6,000 / 60) = X

100 = X

Therefore, her heart rate immediately after running was 100 beats per minute.
