1a Answer: At rest: 72 beats per minute
While running: 150 beats per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert beats per second using the conversion of 60 seconds = 1 minute:
[tex]\text{At rest}:\\\\\dfrac{18\ beats}{15\ seconds}\times \dfrac{60\ seconds}{1\ minute}=\dfrac{18\ beats \times 4}{1\ minute}=72\text{ beats per minute}\\\\\\\text{While running}:\\\\\dfrac{25\ beats}{10\ seconds}\times \dfrac{60\ seconds}{1\ minute}=\dfrac{25\ beats \times 6}{1\ minute}=150\text{ beats per minute}[/tex]

2b Answer: 234 beats per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract "at rest" from "while running" to find the difference in 1 minute. Then multiply by 3 to find the difference in 3 minutes.
3(150 - 72)
= 3(78)
= 234
