Assume a healthy heart beats exactly 70 times per minute. If an individual lives to age 85 years, estimate the number of heartbeats in his or her lifetime, using scientific notation.

3.12732 × 10⁹ beats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, in 1 min, the heart of an individual makes 70 beats, the number of beats the heart of the healthy individual makes in 85 years can be calculated as follows:

1 yr = 365 days, therefore,

85yrs = 85*365 = 31,025 days

1 day = 24 hours

31,025 days = 31,025*24 = 744,600 hours.

1 hr = 60 mins

744,600 hours = 744,600*60 = 44,676,000 mins

This means the individual lived for 44,676,000 mins (85yrs)

If 70 beats are made in 1 min, therefore, in 85yrs, the individual will make:

44,676,000*70 = 3,127,320,000 beats = 3.12732 × 10⁹ beats in 85yrs

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
