Answer:

Natalie can hop 21 times in 7 minutes

Explanation:

To figure out how many times she can hop in 7 minutes you need to find the average hop each minute.

First, you write 24/8. You simply that to 3/1.

So Natalie can jump 3 times in 1 minute.

If you want 7 minutes, you multiply 1 by 7, and 3 by 7, which gets you 21 hops for 7 minutes.

-I hope this helps!
