The average human heart beats 1.15 \cdot 10^51.15⋅10 5 1, point, 15, dot, 10, start superscript, 5, end superscript times per day. There are 3.65 \cdot 10^23.65⋅10 2 3, point, 65, dot, 10, start superscript, 2, end superscript days in one year. How many times does the heart beat in one year?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.1975\cdot 10^{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the average human heart beats $1.15\cdot 10^{5}$ times per day and there are $3.65\cdot 10^{2}$ days in one year.

To find number of heart beats in one year we will multiply number of heart beats in one day by number of days in one year.

$1.15\cdot 10^{5}\times 3.65\cdot 10^{2}$

Now we will solve this problem using exponent properties.

$1.15 \times 3.65\cdot 10^{2+5}$

$1.15 \times 3.65\cdot 10^{7}$

$4.1975\cdot 10^{7}$

Our answer is in scientific notation we can represent it in standard form as $4.1975\cdot 10^{7}=4.1975*10000000=41975000$ times.

Therefore, average human heart beats in one year $4.1975\cdot 10^{7}$ or 41975000 times.
