To determine how many jumping jacks Jose can do in 15 minutes, we first need to find out how many jumping jacks he does per minute.
Given that Jose can do 5 jumping jacks in 3 minutes, we can calculate his rate:
\[ \text{Jumping Jacks per Minute} = \frac{5 \text{ jumping jacks}}{3 \text{ minutes}} \approx 1.67 \text{ jumping jacks per minute} \]
Now we can use this rate to fill out a ratio table.
Here's how it works for different time increments:
\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Minutes} & \text{Number of Jumping Jacks} \ \hline 3 & 5 \ 6 & 10 \ 9 & 15 \ 12 & 20 \ 15 & 25 \ \hline \end{array} \]
Based on the table, Jose can do:
- 5 jumping jacks in 3 minutes
- 10 jumping jacks in 6 minutes
- 15 jumping jacks in 9 minutes
- 20 jumping jacks in 12 minutes
- 25 jumping jacks in 15 minutes
Thus, in 15 minutes, Jose can do 25 jumping jacks.
