If sherry took her pulse for 6 second and felt 14 beats, what would her heart rate be?

140

Explanation:

Heart rate is calculated as number of beats made in 1 minute. That is, the unit of heart rate is beats/minute.

Given that Sherry took her pulse and recorded feeling 14 beats in 6 seconds, that her heart made 14 beats in 6 seconds (14 beats/6sec), let's find out how many beats will be made in 1 minute.

14 beats = 6 secs (0.1 min) (recall: 1 min = 60 secs)

x beats = 1 minute

x =

x =

x = 140 beats/min

x = her heart rate = 140 beats/min

the last statement is correct i.e.

when your heart is not pumping enough blood around your body because your heart is severely failing, you may need an artificial heart. an artificial heart is a mechanical device, about the size of an orange, that is connected to your heart or implanted in your chest to or replace a failing heart.
