The average human heart pumps about 60 milliliters of blood for each beat. (a) Consider the number of liters your heart pumps each day. (Assume an average of 60 beats per minute.) How many milliliters does your heart pump each day? mL/day 1 milliliter is equivalent to how many liters? L How many liters of blood does your heart pump each day? L/day (b) Do you think a reasonable degree of precision for this question would be to report the answer to the nearest 100 liters, 10 liters, 1 liter, or 1 milliliter? Explain your reasoning. To the nearest would be reasonable because a difference of 5 beats per minute would be a difference of liters per day.
