Answer 2

Answer:

C. An elephant walks with a speed of 15 steps a minute. How long was the elephant walking if she walked without stopping for 480 steps?

Step-by-step explanation:

C yields the equation of $15x=480$, because 15 stands for steps/minute, 480 for steps, so $x$ must stand for minutes.

For your entertainment:

A gives $x = 480 \cdot 15$.

B gives $x=32-15$.

D gives $x=480+15$.
