Answer 1

Let's calculate the total walking time for Casey and Pam.

Casey:

• Walks her dog 7 days a week for 30 minutes.
• Total minutes Casey walks = 7 days * 30 minutes/day = 210 minutes/week.

Pam:

• Walks her dog 5 days a week for 50 minutes.
• Total minutes Pam walks = 5 days * 50 minutes/day = 250 minutes/week.

Now let's evaluate the statements:

1. Casey walks her dog 20 minutes more than Pam.

   • Incorrect. Casey walks 210 minutes, and Pam walks 250 minutes, which means Pam walks more, not Casey.

2. Pam and Casey walk their dogs a total of 500 minutes a week.

   • Correct. Total = 210 minutes (Casey) + 250 minutes (Pam) = 460 minutes, not 500.

3. Pam walks her dog 40 minutes more than Casey.

   • Correct. Pam walks 250 minutes and Casey walks 210 minutes.
   • 250 - 210 = 40 minutes more.

4. Pam and Casey each walk their dogs for 230 minutes a week.

   • Incorrect. Casey walks 210 minutes and Pam 250 minutes, not 230 each.

The correct statement is: Pam walks her dog 40 minutes more than Casey.
