The table is displaying the number of heartbeats for each animal in a given amount of time.
For example, the pig's heart beats 225 times in 3 minutes, the horse's heart beats 180 times in 4 minutes, the cow's heart beats 520 times in 8 minutes, and the dog's heart beats 540 times in 6 minutes.
To find the average heartbeats per minute for each animal, you will need to divide the total number of heartbeats by the number of minutes.
For the pig:
Heartbeats: 225
Minutes: 3
Average heartbeats per minute for the pig: 225 / 3 = 75
For the horse:
Heartbeats: 180
Minutes: 4
Average heartbeats per minute for the horse: 180 / 4 = 45
For the cow:
Heartbeats: 520
Minutes: 8
Average heartbeats per minute for the cow: 520 / 8 = 65
For the dog:
Heartbeats: 540
Minutes: 6
Average heartbeats per minute for the dog: 540 / 6 = 90
So, the average heartbeats per minute for each animal are as follows:
Pig: 75
Horse: 45
Cow: 65
Dog: 90
To find the heartbeats per minute for each animal, divide the total number of heartbeats by the number of minutes:
- For the pig: 225 heartbeats ÷ 3 minutes = 75 beats per minute (bpm)
- For the horse: 180 heartbeats ÷ 4 minutes = 45 bpm
- For the cow: 520 heartbeats ÷ 8 minutes = 65 bpm
- For the dog: 540 heartbeats ÷ 6 minutes = 90 bpm
