Pulse Rate Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Pulse Rate.
PULSE = P / (T/60)
- Where PULSE is the Pulse Rate (pulses/min)
- P is the number of pulses
- T is the time (s)
How to Calculate Pulse Rate?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Pulse Rate.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the number of pulses.
- The number of pulses is given as: 75.
- Next, determine the time (s).
- The time (s) is provided as: 30.
- Finally, calculate the Pulse Rate using the equation above:
PULSE = P / (T/60)
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
PULSE = 75 / (30/60) = 150 (pulses/min)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
number of pulses = 100
time (s) = 50
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
PULSE = P / (T/60) = ?
