What is physical fitness flashcards for 10 seasons Ariana places her finger on her radial artery and counts her heartbeats. In 10 seasons, she counts 15 beats. What is Ariana’s current heart rate based on the measurement?

Answer 1

To calculate Ariana's heart rate based on her measurement, you can use the formula to find beats per minute (BPM).

1. She counted 15 beats in 10 seconds.
2. To convert this to beats per minute, multiply the number of beats by 6 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute and you counted for 10 seconds).

So, the calculation would be:

\[ \text{Heart Rate (BPM)} = 15 , \text{beats} \times \left(\frac{60 , \text{seconds}}{10 , \text{seconds}}\right) = 15 , \text{beats} \times 6 = 90 , \text{BPM} \]

Ariana's current heart rate is 90 beats per minute.
