We conclude that she needs to route 10 phone calls to spend a total of 20 minutes in the phone (assuming that the unit rate does not change).

<h3>How many phone calls does Aaliyah have to route to spend a total of 20 minutes on the phone?</h3>

First, we know that she spends 10 minutes on the phone while routing 5 phone calls.

Then the unit rate is:

(5 phone calls)/(10 min) = 0.5 phone calls per min.

Now, if she spends 20 minutes, the number of phone calls that she will route (assuming that the unit rate does not change) is:

N = (0.5 phone calls per min)*20 min = 10 phone calls.

We conclude that she needs to route 10 phone calls to spend a total of 20 minutes in the phone (assuming that the unit rate does not change).
