the number of chirps made by a cricket varies directly as the temperature. If at 12 degrees a cricket chirps 30 times per minute, how many times per minute will the cricket chirp at 20 degrees

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
