Lightning strikes Earth 1000 times in 10 seconds, how many times does lightning strike in 12 seconds?

It would strike Earth 1200 times in 12 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this we need to find the per second rate. We can find that by dividing the amount of times by the amount of seconds.

1000 times / 10 seconds = 100 times per second.

Now we multiply this rate by the new number of seconds.

12 seconds * 100 times per second = 1200 times
