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 1700.mL of blood. Set the math up.

Answer 1

1700 mL / 84 mLs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Volume of blood pumped per minute = 84 /mLs

Time it takes to circulate 1700 mL of blood :

Time taken = Volume of blood circulate / Rate

Hence, to circulate 1700 mL of blood :

Time taken = 1700 mL / 84 mLs
