Heartbeats and Time Conversions

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the number of heartbeats per year and over a lifetime if the average heart rate is 72 beats per minute. It demonstrates converting beats per minute to beats per year using unit fractions and then extends this calculation to determine the total heartbeats over 75 years. The tutorial highlights the significant workload of the heart over a lifetime.

What is the average heart rate used in the problem?

• 90 beats per minute

• 80 beats per minute

• 72 beats per minute

• 60 beats per minute
