Answer 1

The answer is that her mom will donate $2.

Explanation:

From the information given, you can use a rule of three to find the amount her mom will donate if Emily bikes 15 miles given that her mother pledges 10 cents for every 0.75 miles:

0.75 miles → 0.10

15 miles → x

x=(15*0.10)/0.75

x= 2

According to this, the answer is that her mom will donate $2.
