A single serving bag of snack chips contains 71.0 Cal. Assuming that all of the energy from eating these chips goes toward keeping your heart beating, how many hours can these chips sustain a heartbeat of 73 beats per minute? Note: 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ and each heartbeat requires approximately 1 J of energy. h
