The correct equation is a) 250 - 5m = 30.
Explanation:
Let's break it down:
- Grandma starts with 250 weeds in the garden.
- She can remove 5 weeds per minute.
- After m minutes, she will have removed a total of 5m weeds.
So, the equation becomes:
250 - 5m = 30
The goal is to find the value of m when there are only 30 weeds remaining in the garden.
Grandma is removing weeds from her garden. She estimates that there are 250 weeds in the garden at the moment, and she can remove weeds
at a rate of 5 per minute. At this rate how many minutes (m) will it take Grandma to only have 30 weeds remaining in the garden?
Equation:
a 250-5m = 30
b 30 - 5m = 250
c 250 + 5m = 30
d 5m - 250 = 30
