Answer:

Heart will beat 140 times in 2 minutes.
Heart beats at a rate of 70 beats per minute.

Explanation:

In 0 minutes heart beats 700 times

hence in 1 minute it will beat 70010=70 times

and heart will beat 140 times in 14070=2 minutes
Set up a proportion.

Beat in 10 minutes : minutes = 140 beats : unknown minutes.

700 : 10 = 140 : x

x = (140*10)/700 = 1400/700 = 2

Answer 2 minutes
