To find out how many levels Britney should beat today, we need to determine the ratio of levels beaten to the amount of time played.
Yesterday, Britney beat 3 levels in 27 minutes. This can be represented as 3 levels / 27 minutes = 1 level / 9 minutes.
If she played for 45 minutes today, we can set up a proportion:
1 level / 9 minutes = x levels / 45 minutes.
Cross-multiplying, we get:
9 * x levels = 1 * 45 minutes.
Simplifying, we have:
9x = 45.
Dividing both sides by 9, we find:
x = 45 / 9.
x = 5.
Therefore, Britney should beat 5 levels today.
Britney just got a new video game for her birthday. Yesterday, she played for 27 minutes and beat 3 levels. Today, her parents said she can play for 45 minutes.
If she beats levels at the same rate, how many levels should Britney beat today?
