Question

A charity collected $40 for each mile Carlos ran in a race. If the charity received $400, which equation could you use to find out how many miles Carlos ran in the race?

Answer 1

Are there choices listed? If not, then we can take the information given and translate it to an equation as follows: 40m = 400. Solve for m by dividing both sides by 40 and find that Carlos ran 10 miles.
