Meredith is collecting petition signatures outside of a shopping mall to put an issue on the ballot during the next election. During the first 29 minutes, she has collected 8 signatures. If she continues to collect signatures at this rate, about how many signatures will Meredith have collected after 5 hours?
Group of answer choices
about 80 signatures
about 160 signatures
about 140 signatures
about 128 signatures
I'm assuming this is a test, so I will get you started on this question.
5 hours is 300 minutes, so divide 300 by 29 and multiply by 8. You will now have your answer and will need to round to the nearest choice.
