Answer:
56 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Process of elimination. 126 mph is much too high because it's more than the distance and they will arrive too early. 65 + 65 ÷ 2 = 97.5, that's more than 84 miles. The reason we divide by 2 is because of the .5. Now all we have is 56 mph. To check, 56 + 56 ÷ 2 = 84
so we know that each m&m weighs about 2g.
the next line says to write a direct variation equation.
(definition: mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other)
we then make the equation ( w=xm), then we use that equation to figure out the next line, which is to find the amount of m&ms that would fit in a bag of 1000.
(my head cant really process part a cause of a recent headache, so sorry if its wrong)
the answer to part b would be 500, which you can provide evidence based off of your part a equation.
90 + 49 = 139
180 - 139 = 41
x = 41
