Answer 1

To find out how many minutes it will take Jason to reduce the number of weeds from 250 to 30, we can set up the problem as follows:

1. **Determine the total number of weeds that need to be removed**:
- Starting number of weeds = 250
- Ending number of weeds = 30
- Weeds to be removed = 250 - 30 = 220 weeds

2. **Determine the rate at which Jason removes weeds**:
- Rate of removal = 5 weeds per minute

3. **Calculate the time required to remove the weeds**:
- Time (in minutes) = Total weeds to be removed / Rate of removal
- Time = 220 weeds / 5 weeds per minute

Now, performing the calculation:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{220}{5} = 44 \text{ minutes}
\]

Thus, it will take Jason **44 minutes** to reduce the number of weeds in his garden to 30.
