17) While exercising, Julie found that her heart was beating 12 times every 5 seconds. How many times was it beating per minute?

So does it start out like this? 12/5=x/60

yes

12/5=x12/x12=144/60

Multiply both. 144 bpm

Thank you!!!

You're welcome.

Thank you so, so, so much! :)

So is the answer 144?

12/5=x/60
5x/5=720/5
x=450 beats per minute

Yes.

NO THIS IS WRONG!!!!!!!
