To find the number of claps in 30 seconds, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

28 claps / 12 seconds = x claps / 30 seconds

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

28 * 30 = 12 * x

840 = 12x

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 12:

840 / 12 = x

70 = x
