Question

The average adult heart pumps about 84. mL/s of blood at 72 beats per minute. Suppose you need to calculate how long it would take the average heart to circulate 5300. mL of blood.

Answer 1

Answer:

63.1 seconds.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the average adult heart pumps 84.0 mL/s of blood, it means 84.0 mL each second, as we have 5300. mL, the following mathematical set up help us to compute the required time:

$t=5300.mL*\frac{1s}{84.mL}\\\\t=63.1s$

Which is about 1.05 min.

Best regards!
