Question
If your pulse is measured to be 75 beats per minute, what is the period of your heartbeat in seconds?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The frequency f = 75 beats/minute = 75/60 beats/second = 1.25 Hz. The period T = 1/f = 1/1.25 s = 0.80 s.
Hint
Remember that period is the reciprocal of frequency, and ensure units are consistent (beats per second).
