Trey Ferguson · Answer 1

To do it just change 60 seconds to 1 minute then times 72 by 15 which would equal 1080 then your done

To check it just reverse the calculation so do 1080 divide by 15 which should equal 72

Jaidyn Barr · Answer 2

1. Do a proportion (remember that 60 seconds = 1 minute)

72 times / 1 minute = x times / 15 minutes

2. Do 72 times 15 which equals 1,080

3. 1,080 divided by 1 equals 1,080

4. Your answer is 1,080 times
