Question

I need to calculate the approximate heart rate based on the given ECG results, but I can't get how to determine the length of time between two consecutive R waves. What I see, it's one second between the two highest waves (I suppose they are R waves). But it means the heart rate should be 60 beats per minute, but there is no option for this answer. Teach me how to determine correctly the length of time between two consecutive R waves.
