Emergency calls to a small municipality in Idaho come in at the rate of one every minute. What is the rate of emergency calls per hour?

1) 60 calls per hour
2) 30 calls per hour
3) 120 calls per hour
4) 90 calls per hour

Answer 1

The rate of emergency calls per hour is 60 calls per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of emergency calls per hour can be found by multiplying the rate of emergency calls per minute by the number of minutes in an hour. In this case, the rate of emergency calls per minute is 1, so the rate of emergency calls per hour is 1 x 60 = 60 calls per hour.
