only male crickets chirp. they chirp at different rates depending on their species and the temperature of their environment. suppose a certain species is currently chirping at a rate of 85 chirps per minute. at this rate, how many chirps occur in one hour? in one 24 - hour day? in one 365 - day year? the amount of chirps per hour is . (type a whole number.)

Explanation:

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour and the rate is 85 chirps per minute, to find the number of chirps per hour, we multiply the rate per minute by 60.
$85\times60$

$85\times60 = 5100$
