She has exercised a total of 240 minutes this month.

Answer 1

For the first and second one it’s no since 12 in both of them needs a variable after the number since it is per week or per hour. 3rd one is also no

Answer 2

Madison earns $12 per hour, plus a $20 bonus for completing the training program. This week Madison earned $240. - Yes
Kyndal is saving $12 per week from her allowance. After 20 weeks, Kyndal has $240. - No
Ny’Ari exercises by spending 12 minutes warming up and then running for 20 minutes. She has exercised a total of 240 minutes this month. - No
The first statement is correct because if Madison works for x hours, her earnings would be 20x (from the hourly rate) plus a $20 bonus, which equals $240. The other two statements do not fit the equation because the numbers do not align with the equation’s structure.
