Question

Animal  takes more steps per minute.

Answer 1

To compare the number of steps each animal takes per minute, we can look at their rates. The rate for Animal 1 is 10 steps per minute, while the rate for Animal 2 is 22 steps per 2 minutes.

To make the rates comparable, we can divide the rate for Animal 2 by 2, since Animal 2 takes steps every 2 minutes.

Animal 2's rate becomes 22 steps / 2 minutes = 11 steps per minute.

Therefore, Animal 2 takes more steps per minute as compared to Animal 1.
