Question

3.) A machine that fills ice cream containers can fill the containers at a rate of 25 containers per

minute. One morning, when the machine was
turned on to begin filling containers, there were already
3,775 containers filled with ice cream in the freezer. The company needs to fill a total of 6,050
containers for a shipment.
Which equation could be used to determine the number of minutes it would take, m, for there to be
6,050 containers available for shipment?
A) 3775 - 25m = 6050
B) 3775 + 25m = 6050
C) 3775m + 25 = 6050
D) 6050 + 25m = 3775

Answer 1

B is the correct answer.
Since we already have 3775 we had that to the 25 containers per minutes. 25m represents that. M is the number of minutes
Therefore the equation would be B
