Question

The sleeping heart rate of a black bear during hibernation is about 1/2 of its summer rate.if the sleep heart rate of a bear is 28 beats per minute during hibernation,find the summer sleeping heart rate​

Answer 1

Hello!

So, according to the problem, the heart rate of a bear during hibernation is $\frac{1}{2}$its original amount.

So we can write an equation to help us understand this.

$\frac{1}{2}$ of sr = 28

We can use inverse to make this easier to solve. 2 × 28 = sr.

So, in simple form, we multiply.

28 × 2 = 56

Our final answer would be:

A bears heart rate during the summer would be 56 beats per minutes.
