Question

Lightning strikes Earth 1000 times in 10 seconds. How many seconds does it take for lightning to strike 7250 times? It takes seconds for lightning to strike 7250 times.

Answer 1

1000 / 10 = 100 strikes per second. Now, multiply by 12 to find the number of strikes that occurred. 100 * 12 = 1200 strikes in 12 seconds. Part B: Divide the number of seconds to the number of lightning strikes to find the average rate. 10 / 1000 = 0.1 seconds per strike. Now, multiply by 7250 to find the number of seconds that passed.
