Question

The average adult heart pumps about 84./mLs of blood at 72 beats per minute. Suppose you need to calculate how long it would take the average heart to circulate 3600.mL of blood. Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.

Answer 1

Answer:

42.857 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

The average adult heart pumps about 84./mLs  of blood at 72 beats per minute.

The total volume = 3600 mL

The objective is to calculate how long it would take the average heart circulate 3600 mL of blood.

Since 84 mL of blood takes 1 seconds to pump,

assuming q is the time required for heart to pump 3600 mL of blood

$Time \ ( q )= \dfrac{3600 mL \times 1\ seconds}{84 \ mL}$

TIme (q) = 42.857 seconds
