To find the total number of heartbeats in Massachusetts per year, we need to multiply the average number of heartbeats per person per year by the population of Massachusetts.
Number of heartbeats in Massachusetts per year = average number of heartbeats per person per year * population of Massachusetts
= 3.5 × 10^7 * 7 × 10^6
= 24.5 × 10^13
= 2.45 × 10^14
So, approximately 2.45 × 10^14 heartbeats occur in Massachusetts per year.
