if 85 blinks = 15 minutes then 51 blinks = x (cross multiply) 85 × x = 51 × 15 85x / 85 = (51 x 15) / 85 x = (51 × 3) / 17 x = 3 × 3 x = 9 so he blinked 51 times in 9 minutes if 1 minute = 60 seconds then 9 minutes = x (cross multiple) 1 × x = 9 × 60 x = 540 therefore 540 seconds passed when he blinked 51 times
Solution: The george blink 51 times in** 540 seconds**. ;
George blinked 51 times in approximately 540 seconds, calculated by determining the rate of blinking from 85 blinks in 15 minutes. This method involved converting minutes to seconds and then finding the time per blink. Ultimately, multiplying the time per blink by 51 gave the total time in seconds.
