How many heart beats average in a lifespan?

Answer 1

Say an average person has a resting heart beat of around 70 per minute. Also say the average lifetime is 80 years. By multiplying out the number of beats per minute by minutes in an hour by hours in a day by days in a year and years by 80 you get thus:

70x60x24x356.25x80= 2,945,376,000

Obviously people heart rate varies and we don't rest all the time and some people live more or less but I hope this is a close enough estimate.

ps. I imagine you could of done this yourself if you'd tried but I like problem solving :)

Answer 2

A normal resting heart rate would be between 60-100, unless you are very athletic
