**Calculate the Heart Rate: This is a 6-Second Strip**

In the image, there is an electrocardiogram (ECG) strip depicting a 6-second interval of heart activity. The ECG strip is marked with several regular peaks, known as QRS complexes, which represent the heartbeats.

**Graph Explanation:**

- The graph is a grid with horizontal and vertical lines representing time and electrical activity, respectively.
- The QRS complexes are the tallest peaks and indicate ventricular depolarization, corresponding to heartbeats.
- Each small square on the graph represents a specific time interval, typically 0.04 seconds.

**Task:**

Calculate the heart rate based on the number of QRS complexes within this 6-second interval. 

**Multiple Choice Options:**

- [ ] 80
- [ ] 40
- [ ] 120
- [ ] 60

To calculate beats per minute (BPM), count the number of QRS complexes in the strip and multiply by 10.
