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 will it take her to only have 30 weeds remaining in the garden?

Question

Equation: _________
Solution: _________
Meaning of the solution in words: _______________________________
Part 1
A. 250 - 5m = 30
B. 250 + 5m = 30
C. 5m -250 = 30
D. 30 - 5m = 250
Part 2
A. m = 44
B. m = 56
C. m = 220
D. m = -44
Part 3
A. It will take her 56 minutes to have 30 weeds remaining.
B. Grandma removed 56 weeds in 30 minutes.
C. Grandma removed 220 weeds in 30 minutes.
D. Grandma removed 44 weeds in 30 minutes.
E. It will take her 44 minutes to have 30 weeds remaining.

Answer 1

Equation: \( 250 - 5m = 30 \)

Solution:
To solve for \( m \), we first rearrange the equation:

1. Subtract 30 from both sides: \[ 250 - 30 = 5m \] \[ 220 = 5m \]
2. Divide both sides by 5: \[ m = \frac{220}{5} = 44 \]

Meaning of the solution in words:
It will take Grandma 44 minutes to remove enough weeds from her garden so that only 30 weeds remain.

---

Part 1
A. \( 250 - 5m = 30 \) (Correct)

---

Part 2
A. \( m = 44 \) (Correct)

---

Part 3
A. It will take her 56 minutes to have 30 weeds remaining.
(The correct answer is not A, but E.)

E. It will take her 44 minutes to have 30 weeds remaining. (Correct)
