I think it would be 1,080, because you multiply 60 seconds by 5, then divide by ten, and multiply be 36 to get the answer

First, you need to figure out how many 10 seconds are in 5 minutes. 10 seconds occur 30 times in 5 minutes. We got this because in 1 minute, 10 seconds occur 6 times. So 6*5 minutes= 30. So now we have to multiple 30 by 36. The answer is 1,080 bottle caps in 5 minutes. I hope this helps.
