Evelyn can run 3 miles in 40 minutes. Which equation can be solved to find m, the number of miles Evelyn can run in 60 minutes? ___1 4 and 4 10 ___3 40 5 _1 m __1 2 and __6 12 ___3 40 5 __ 60 m __ 3 8 and __9 16 ___3 40 5 __ m 1 __ 2 6 and ___3 12 ___3 40 5 ___ m 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the number of miles that evelyn can run in 60 minutes.

If evelyn can run 3 miles in 40 minutes, to calculate the number of miles she can run in 60 minutes, we will apply the equality postulate as shown;

3 miles = 40 minutes

m miles = 60 minutes

Cross multiply

40* m = 3* 60

40m = 180

Divide both sides by 40

40m/40 = 180/40

m = 180/40

m = 4.5 miles

The equation that can be used to find m is 40m = 180 and the value of m is 4.5miles

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
