Stafford · Answer 1

= 62.1 hours

Explanation:

Energy provide by the serving is 65 cal

= 65 cal * 4.184 Kj = 271.96 kJ

271.96 KJ = 271960 J

Energy required for 1minute of energy

= 73 x 1

= 73 J/min

So, 271960 joules will be required for 271960 heart beat

Minutes = 271960 / 73

= 3593.94 minutes

Time in hours = 3725.429 / 60

= 62.1 hours
