Swimming- 53 beats in 1/3 minutes

Answer 1

Whats the heart rate for running?

Answer 2

and swimming?

Answer 3

To find Porter’s heart rate while running, we need to calculate the number of beats per minute (bpm).

1. **Running:**
- He has 42 beats in 1/4 minute.
- To find the heart rate in beats per minute, we can scale it up to a full minute. Since there are 4 quarters in a minute, we multiply the number of beats by 4:

\[
\text{Heart rate (bpm)} = 42 \text{ beats} \times 4 = 168 \text{ bpm}
\]

Thus, Porter's heart rate when he runs is **168 beats per minute.**

Answer 4

We already calculated Porter’s heart rate while running based on the information provided.

To reiterate:

- Porter recorded **42 beats** in **1/4 minute** while running.
- To convert this to beats per minute (bpm), we can scale it:

\[
\text{Heart rate (bpm)} = 42 \text{ beats} \times 4 = 168 \text{ bpm}
\]

Thus, Porter's heart rate while running is **168 beats per minute.**

Answer 5

To find Porter’s heart rate while swimming, we can use the information you provided:

- Porter records **53 beats** in **1/3 minute** while swimming.

Now, we need to convert this to beats per minute (bpm):

1. Since there are 3 thirds in a minute, we can scale it up by multiplying the number of beats by 3:

\[
\text{Heart rate (bpm)} = 53 \text{ beats} \times 3 = 159 \text{ bpm}
\]

Thus, Porter’s heart rate while swimming is **159 beats per minute.**
