Question

Animal 1 takes 10 steps every minute. Animal 2 takes 22 steps every 2 minutes. Compare these proportional relationships. Which animal takes more steps per minute?(1 point) .

Answer 1

To compare the number of steps per minute for both animals, we need to determine the rate of steps for each animal.

**Animal 1:**
- Animal 1 takes 10 steps every minute.
- Therefore, the steps per minute = 10 steps/minute.

**Animal 2:**
- Animal 2 takes 22 steps every 2 minutes.
- To find the steps per minute, we divide the total steps by the time in minutes:
\[
\text{Steps per minute} = \frac{22 \text{ steps}}{2 \text{ minutes}} = 11 \text{ steps/minute}.
\]

Now we can compare the two:
- Animal 1: 10 steps/minute
- Animal 2: 11 steps/minute

**Conclusion:** Animal 2 takes more steps per minute than Animal 1, as 11 steps/minute is greater than 10 steps/minute.
