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?(

Answer 1

To compare these proportional relationships, we need to find the number of steps each animal takes per minute.

For Animal 1:
10 steps every minute

For Animal 2:
22 steps every 2 minutes

To compare them, we can set up a proportion:

Animal 1 steps per minute = Animal 2 steps per 2 minutes

10 steps per minute = 22 steps per 2 minutes

To find the number of steps Animal 2 takes per minute, we can divide the steps taken every 2 minutes by 2:

22 steps per 2 minutes ÷ 2 = 11 steps per minute

Comparing the two, Animal 2 takes more steps per minute.
