A blue whale's heart beats only 45 times in 5 minutes. Write an equation comparing the number of beats to the number of minutes. At that rate, how many times would the blue whale's heart beat in 20 minutes?

45 times in 5 minutes.......45/5 = 9 times per minute

y = 9x.....where y is the total heartbeats and x is the number of minutes

in 20 minutes....sub in 20 for x

y = 9x
y = 9(20)
y = 180 <=== so it would beat 180 times in 20 minutes

Divide 45 with 5 to find out the amount of times the whale's heart beat per minute

45/5 = 9

9 times per minute

Now multiply 9 with 20

20 x 9 = 180

A whale's heart beats 180 times in 20 minutes

hope this helps
