A person's resting heart rate is typically between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Noah looks at his watch, and counts 8 heartbeats
in 10 seconds.Write an equation for h, the number of times Noah’s heart beats (at this rate) in m minutes.h = _______________ Use m as your variable. The problem expects an algebraic expression with variables for an answer.

You should create an even proportion. So you could do seconds over heartbeats or the other way around. I decided to do the other way around. Since yu want to see h in m minutes and in a minute there are 60 seconds, I did 8/10 = h/60. Instead of cross multiplying, I saw that 10 times 6 is 60 so 8 x 6=h. 8 x 6 = 48 so h=48.
