Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jill's target heart rate can be calculated using the formula: 220 minus age (32) to get the maximum heart rate, which is 188 beats per minute. The target heart rate for moderate exercise is 50-70% of the maximum, and for vigorous exercise, it's 70-85%. Therefore, Jill's target heart rate range is approximately 94-159 beats per minute for moderate exercise and 132-160 beats per minute for vigorous exercise, making option D the closest correct range.
