To find the total number of heartbeats in Massachusetts per year, we need to multiply the average number of heartbeats per person by the current population of Massachusetts.
Average number of heartbeats per person per year = 3.5 × 10^7
Current population of Massachusetts = 7 × 10^6
Total number of heartbeats in Massachusetts per year = (3.5 × 10^7) * (7 × 10^6)
= 24.5 × 10^13
Written in scientific notation, the answer is 2.45 × 10^14.
The average human heart beats about 3.5 ×10^7 times per year. The current population of Massachusetts is about 7×10^6 people. About how many heartbeats occur in Massachusetts per year? Write the answer in scientific notation. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.
