### Instruction: An athlete's heart beats an average of 150 times per minute while running. How many times does the athlete's heart beat during a 26-mile race if the athlete runs at a pace of 5 minutes per mile?### Response: Ok so the first thing we need to do is find the number of minutes the athlete spends running.
Right. So since the athlete runs at a pace of 5 minutes per mile, we just need to multiply 5 by the number of miles in the race.
That would be 5 * 26 which is 130 minutes.
Now we just need to multiply the number of minutes by the number of heartbeats per minute.
That would be 150 * 130 which is 19,500 heartbeats.
