To find out how many times Corey's heart beats per minute, we can set up a proportion based on the information given.
We know that in \( \frac{1}{6} \) minute, her heart beats 26 times. To find the number of beats in 1 minute, we can use the following calculation:
\[
\text{Heart beats per minute} = \text{beats in } \frac{1}{6} \text{ minute} \times \text{how many } \frac{1}{6} \text{ minutes are in 1 minute}
\]
Since there are 6 segments of \( \frac{1}{6} \) in a full minute, we multiply the number of beats by 6:
\[
\text{Heart beats per minute} = 26 \times 6
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
26 \times 6 = 156
\]
Thus, Corey's heart beats **156 times per minute**.
