So since Eric can do 19 push-ups in 12 seconds, we can figure out how many he can do in one minute by multiplying 19 by 5, because 5×12=60 (and 60 seconds is one minute) 19×5=95.

Eric can do 95 push-ups in one minute.

I think its about 95 because you basically divide 19 by 12 and get 1.583 then you would multiply that by 60 or the amount of seconds in a minute. Hope this helps
