The average number of heartbeats per second is 1 1/2 beats per second.

are we sure?

Apologies for the incorrect response.

The average number of heartbeats per second varies among individuals and can depend on factors such as age, fitness level, and overall health. Generally, the average resting heart rate for adults is between 60-100 beats per minute, which translates to 1-1.67 beats per second. Therefore, the closest answer from the given options would be 1-1/2 beats per second.

so the answer is 1 1/2, right?

Yes, the average number of heartbeats per second is approximately 1 1/2 beats per second.

To find the average number of heartbeats per second, you need to calculate the average by summing up all the given numbers of beats per second and dividing it by the total count of values.

Let's add up the values given:

2 + 2 + 1 + 1/2 + 2/3 + 3

To add fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator is 6:

2 + 2 + 1 + (1/2) + (2/3) + 3 = 12/6 + 12/6 + 6/6 + (3/6) + (4/6) + 18/6
= (12 + 12 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 18)/6
= 55/6

So, the sum of the given values is 55/6.

Now, to find the average number of heartbeats per second, divide the sum by the total count of values:

55/6 ÷ 6 = (55/6) × (1/6) = 55/36

Therefore, the average number of heartbeats per second is 55/36.
