Real-Life Activities

Real-Life Math

Pediatric nurses spend a lot of time taking vital signs of their young patients. These nurses get pretty good at estimating, especially when it comes to doing heart rate conversions.

If you've ever had your pulse taken, you know that most nurses don't wait a full minute. Most count your heart rate for 10 seconds and then figure out the per-minute rate that is standard in the medical field.

You are a pediatric nurse in a hospital. It's time for morning checks on all of your patients. Your 10-second pulse counts yield the following results. What are the per-minute heart rates?

Pulse:
12
9
11
