To find out how many days it will take for Cal Q. Later's heart to beat 1,000,000 times at a rate of 80 beats per minute, we can use a simple calculation.
First, we need to determine how many beats his heart will complete in one day. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day, so there are 60 x 24 = 1440 minutes in a day.
Since his heart beats at a rate of 80 beats per minute, it will complete 80 x 1440 = 115,200 beats in one day.
To find out how many days it will take his heart to beat 1,000,000 times, we can divide 1,000,000 by the number of beats in one day:
1,000,000 / 115,200 = 8.67
Therefore, it will take Cal Q. Later's heart approximately 8.67 days to beat 1,000,000 times.
