Question

I need help on this one!!

Answer 1

We know 15 minutes contain 15*60 = 900 seconds, the time for 85 blinks

Then the time for each blink t = 900/85

Time elapsed in seconds for 51 blinks is then 51*t = 900*51/85 = 540 seconds

Answer 2

As the answer wants to know the seconds, find the seconds. 15 * 60 = 900. We know he blinks 85 times in 900 seconds, so divide 900 by 85 to find the rate at which George blinks. 900 / 85 = 10.588. Multiply 10.588 by 51 to find the number of seconds for 51 blinks. 51 * 10.588 = 539.988.
