Answer 1

Given information:

She needs to include running at least 10 mins a day.

This week she ran every day for 12 mins.

Required: The total distance Candice ran?

The total distance she ran is the number of distances she would cover per minute times 12 mins i.e:

`\text{Total distance = Number of distances covered per minute }*\text{ 12 mins}`

Hence, the missing information is the number of distances she covers per minute.

Answer: Option A
