In places where there are crickets, the outdoor temperature can be predicted by the rate at which crickets chirp. One equation that models the relationship between chirps and outdoor temperature is , where c is the number of chirps per minute and f is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Suppose 110 chirps are heard in a minute. If it is 75°F outside, about how many chirps can we expect to hear in one minute? Do not include units (chirps) in your answer. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The crickets do not chirp at all below 40 degrees and at 75 degrees they chirp about 161 times per minute.
