Answer 1

The answer is number 3

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B. 25 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we know that a horse takes 60 breaths every 5 minutes. We need to find how many minutes it takes a horse to take 300 breaks. First, let's see how many times 60 can go into 300.

300 ÷ 60 = 5

Now, let's multiply this by 5.

5 x 5 = 25

Therefore, the answer is B. 25 minutes.

Hope this helps! :)
