Jen is paddling thinking you for months. She is paddling at a rate of 35 yd./min. Which equation would you use to find, the number of yards in X minutes?

Answer 1

Since she is paddling 35 yards per minute, every 35 yards, one minute passes. With that information, we get 35x yards.

Answer 2

The first sentence, "Jen is paddling thinking you for months." does not make sense. However, the next part does.

If Jen paddles at a rate of 35 yards in a minute, how would you figure out total number of yards for X minutes. X = number of minutes. So, just take 35 and multiply times the number of minutes.

Total Yards = 35 yards times X

Total Yards = 35(X) yds
