To find the total number of heartbeats that occur in Massachusetts per year, we need to multiply the number of heartbeats per person per year by the population of Massachusetts.
Number of heartbeats per person per year = 3.5 * 10^7
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
= 2.45 * 10^14
So, there are approximately 2.45 * 10^14 heartbeats that occur in Massachusetts per year.
The average human heart beats about 3.5x10^7 times per year. The current population of Massachusetts is about 7x10^6 people. About how many heart beats occur in Massachusetts per year? Express the answer to the exact decimal place.
