Question

When a grizzley bear hibernates it normal heart rate drops 10 beats per mintue which is 20% of it normal vaule. What is the grizzley bear normal heart rate when not hibernation

Answer 1

Answer:

the normal heart rate of the grizzley bear = 12.5 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

let the normal heart rate = x

hibernating heart rate = 20% of normal value = x - 10

20% of x = x - 10

20/100 of x = x - 10

0.2 × x = x - 10

0.2x = x - 10

x - 0.2x = 10

0.8x = 10

x = 10 ÷ 0.8 = 12.5 beats per minute
