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.
