To find the number of minutes it will take Grandma to only have 30 weeds remaining in the garden, we can use the equation:
W = 250 - 5m
where W is the number of weeds remaining and m is the number of minutes elapsed.
Substituting W = 30, we have:
30 = 250 - 5m
Rearranging the equation, we get:
5m = 250 - 30
5m = 220
m = 220/5
m = 44
Therefore, it will take Grandma 44 minutes to only have 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?
Solution:
Answer in
W = 44
W = 56
W= -44
W= -56
