When at rest, an elephant's heart rate is about 30 beats per minute, and a human's heart rate is about 70 beats per minute. A human's heart beats about how many more times per day than an elephant's heart?

Answer 1

To calculate the number of heartbeats per day, we need to multiply the heart rate by the number of minutes in a day.

Human's heart rate per day = 70 beats per minute * 1440 minutes per day = 100,800 beats per day

Elephant's heart rate per day = 30 beats per minute * 1440 minutes per day = 43,200 beats per day

Therefore, a human's heart beats about 100,800 - 43,200 = 57,600 more times per day than an elephant's heart.
