To determine how many math problems Jesse can complete in 1 minute and 15 minutes based on the information given:

  1. Complete the calculation for 1 minute:

    • Jesse can complete 48 math problems in 8 minutes.
    • To find out how many problems she can complete in 1 minute, divide the total problems by the total minutes.
    • \( \frac{48 \text{ problems}}{8 \text{ minutes}} = 6 \text{ problems per minute} \)
  2. Calculate for 15 minutes:

    • If Jesse can complete 6 problems per minute, then in 15 minutes:
    • \( 6 \text{ problems/minute} \times 15 \text{ minutes} = 90 \text{ problems} \)

Thus, the values are:

  • Problems in 1 minute: 6
  • Problems in 15 minutes: 90

The correct response is 6; 90.
