Answer:

30 times, or 30 snaps

Explanation:

Since we know that Judy snaps at a constant rate, we can address this problem simply by finding her rate of snaps per minute.

To find the rate of snaps per minute, we divide the number of snaps by the number of minutes, 45 snaps / 9 minutes = 5 snaps per minute.

Now, we can find how many snaps Judy can make in 6 minutes by multiplying the rate by 6, 5 snaps/minute * 6 minutes = 30 snaps.

At a constant rate, Judy can snap 30 times in 6 minutes.
