QuestionA record holder skipped 332 times in 60 seconds. How many skips did she make in 15 seconds?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The world record for the most number of speed skips in60 seconds is332 skips. The record holder skipped at a constant ratio of seconds to skips3. We need to find out how many skips she made in15 seconds

STEP 2

First, we need to find the ratio of seconds to skips. We can do this by dividing the total number of seconds by the total number of skips.
$Ratio = Total\, seconds / Total\, skips$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total seconds and total skips to calculate the ratio.
$Ratio =60\, seconds /332\, skips$

STEP 4

Calculate the ratio of seconds to skips.
$Ratio =60 /332 =0.1807228916\, seconds/skip$

STEP 5

Now that we have the ratio, we can find out how many skips she made in15 seconds. We can do this by dividing the total number of seconds by the ratio.
$Skips = Total\, seconds / Ratio$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the total seconds and the ratio to calculate the number of skips.
$Skips =15\, seconds /0.1807228916\, seconds/skip$

STEP 7

Calculate the number of skips she made in15 seconds.
$Skips =15 /0.1807228916 =83\, skips$ The record holder made83 skips in15 seconds.
