Ollie runs 40 meters in 5 seconds. How far could she run in 60 seconds?

60 seconds would be 480 meters

Explanation:

we can find the answer by using the method of distribution, but first take the 60 seconds and divide by 5 seconds and we'll get 12 then multiply that by 40 meters to get 480 meters and since we divided 60 seconds by 5 the was how we figured out what to multiply the 40 meters to.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
