To calculate the heart rate in beats per minute (bpm), you can use the following formula:
\[ \text{Heart Rate (bpm)} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of beats}}{\text{Number of seconds}}\right) \times 60 \]
In your case, you count 10 beats in 6 seconds:
\[ \text{Heart Rate (bpm)} = \left(\frac{10}{6}\right) \times 60 \]
Calculating that:
1. \(\frac{10}{6} \approx 1.67\)
2. \(1.67 \times 60 \approx 100\)
Therefore, your approximate heart rate is **100 bpm**.
