Respuesta :
(12 times/16 seconds) = (x times/60 seconds)
x times = (12 times/16 seconds)*(60 seconds)
x = 45 times
x times = (12 times/16 seconds)*(60 seconds)
x = 45 times
Answer: 45 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A lion's heart beats 12 times in 16 seconds.
Let the number of heart beats of lion in 60 seconds be 'x'
As heart beats and time are directly proportional .
Thus, we get
[tex]\frac{x}{60}=\frac{12}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{12}{16}\times60\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=45[/tex]
Therefore, the lion's heart beats 45 times in 60 seconds.
