Answer 1

I believe the answer would be the option that says: "An elephant walks with a speed of 15 steps a minute. How long was the elephant walking if she walked without stopping for 480 steps?"

Answer 2

C. An elephant walks with a speed of 15 steps a minute. How long was the elephant walking if she walked without stopping for 480 steps?

Explanation:

C yields the equation of
`15x=480`, because 15 stands for steps/minute, 480 for steps, so
`x` must stand for minutes.

For your entertainment:

A gives
`x = 480 \cdot 15`.

B gives
`x=32-15`.

D gives
`x=480+15`.
