When at rest, an elephant's heart rate is about 30 beats per minute, and a human's heart rate is about 70 beats per minute. A human's heart beats about how many more times per day than an elephant's heart?
To calculate the number of heartbeats per day, we need to multiply the heart rate by the number of minutes in a day.
Human's heart rate per day = 70 beats per minute * 1440 minutes per day = 100,800 beats per day
Elephant's heart rate per day = 30 beats per minute * 1440 minutes per day = 43,200 beats per day
Therefore, a human's heart beats about 100,800 - 43,200 = 57,600 more times per day than an elephant's heart.
