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 two animals' steps per minute, we need to find the rates of each animal.

For animal 1:
number of steps in 1 minute = 10 steps
rate = 10 steps/1 minute = 10 steps/minute

For animal 2:
number of steps in 1 minute = (22 steps/2 minutes) * (1 minute/2 minutes) = 11 steps
rate = 11 steps/1 minute = 11 steps/minute

Comparing the rates, animal 2 takes more steps per minute.
