To find out how many math problems Jesse can complete in 1 minute and in 15 minutes, we first need to determine her rate of completing math problems.

Jesse completes 48 math problems in 8 minutes. To find her rate, we can calculate the number of problems she completes in 1 minute:

\[ \text{Problems per minute} = \frac{48 \text{ problems}}{8 \text{ minutes}} = 6 \text{ math problems per minute} \]

Now, we can use this rate to find out how many problems she can complete in 15 minutes:

\[ \text{Problems in 15 minutes} = 6 \text{ problems per minute} \times 15 \text{ minutes} = 90 \text{ math problems} \]

Therefore, Jesse can complete:

  • 6 math problems in 1 minute
  • 90 math problems in 15 minutes

The correct response is 6; 90.
