    Step-by-step explanation:

    A person heart beats is 4.2 x 10∧7

    there are 7,600,000,000 = 7.6 x 10∧9

    the heartbeats for all the people here on earth = 4.2 x 10∧7 x 7.6 x 10∧9

    choosing like terms

    4.2 * 7.6*10∧7*10∧9

    31.92x10∧ (7+9)

    31.92*10∧16

    a=31.92

    b=16
