50% of April's distance = May's distance

20% of April's distance = May's distance

120% of April's distance = May's distance

150% of April's distance = May's distance

Answer 1

To summarize the situation:

1. March: Jasmine ran \( m \) miles.
2. April: Jasmine ran \( m + 7 \) miles.
3. May: Jasmine ran \( 78 \) miles, which is \( 150% \) of the distance she ran in April.

Now, the relationship between the distances can be expressed as follows:

150% of April's distance = May's distance

So the correct answer is:

150% of April's distance = May's distance.
