To calculate the average number of heartbeats per second, we need to know the total number of heartbeats and the total time in seconds.
Assuming the line representing the resting heart rate in the graph indicates a total heart rate, we can analyze the range. For example, if the graph shows that the total heartbeats over the 12 seconds is 12 beats (as a hypothetical), we can calculate the average as follows:
Average heartbeats per second = Total heartbeats / Total time in seconds
If we assume the resting heart rate indicated by the line is consistent (let's fictionalize based on provided increments), and let's say it ultimately indicates 12 heartbeats over 12 seconds (hypothetical), here is the calculation:
Average = 12 heartbeats / 12 seconds = 1 beat per second
But, if we use a different example where, for instance, the total heartbeats is indicated as 18 over 12 seconds:
Average = 18 heartbeats / 12 seconds = 1.5 beats per second
To determine the specific answer for the question, we would need actual values from the graph. However, among the provided options:
- 2 beats per second would seem reasonable if the total heartbeats reached around 24 over 12 seconds.
- Therefore, based on the review of provided options and averaging calculations depicted above, if the heart rate is around 3 beats every 2 seconds (as indicated hypothetically leading to total 12 beats over 12 sec), it would yield an average around 1 beat per second.
Without the specific line data or precise numbers from the graph, I can hypothesize a situation leading to 2 beats per second being a plausible option if aligned with indicated variations in heart rate over time reflected in the graph.
Thus, the closest accurate response would be 2 beats per second: (considering a reasonable evaluation of heart rate displayed).
