Part A:

Divide the number of lightning strikes to the number of seconds to find the average rate.

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.

0.1 * 7250 = 72.5 seconds in 7250 strikes

Best of Luck!
