To determine how many sit-ups Lynne can do in 2 minutes, we can first find out her rate of sit-ups per minute based on the data provided.
From the table:
- In 4 minutes, she can do 24 sit-ups.
We can find the number of sit-ups per minute:
\[ \text{Sit-ups per minute} = \frac{24 \text{ sit-ups}}{4 \text{ minutes}} = 6 \text{ sit-ups per minute} \]
Now, to find out how many sit-ups she can do in 2 minutes, we can multiply her rate by the number of minutes:
\[ \text{Sit-ups in 2 minutes} = 6 \text{ sit-ups/minute} \times 2 \text{ minutes} = 12 \text{ sit-ups} \]
Therefore, Lynne can do 12 sit-ups in 2 minutes.
