Crickets chirp more frequently as temperature increases. You can estimate the Fahrenheit temperature by counting the number of times a particular type of cricket chirps in 15 seconds and adding 39.

a. What is the temperature if a cricket chirps two times each second?

2 x 15 = 30
30 + 39 = 69 so 69 degrees Fahrenheit
Hope it helps :)

The temperature based on the cricket's chirping rate of two times each second is estimated to be 69 degrees Fahrenheit. This is calculated by determining the total number of chirps in 15 seconds and adding 39. In this case, 30 chirps were counted, leading to an estimation of 69°F.
