Answer 1

1200 times lightning strikes in 12 seconds

Solution:

Given that, Lightning strikes earth 1000 times in 10 seconds

To find: Number of times lightning strike in 12 seconds

Let us first find the number of times lightning strike per second

Number of times lightning strike per second is found by dividing 1000 by 10

$Per\ second\ strike = \frac{1000}{10} = 100$

So, 100 times lightning strikes in 1 second

How many times does lightning strike in 12 seconds

Multiply per second strike by 12

$lightning\ strike\ in\ 12\ seconds = 100 \times 12 = 1200$

Thus, 1200 times lightning strikes in 12 seconds
