The national honor society at pleasantville high school wants to raise at least
$500 for a local charity. each student earns $0.50 for every quarter of a mile walked in a
walk-a-thon. how many miles will the students need to walk?

250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so what you want to do first is find how much money students make per mile. The way we can do this is by multiplying 1/4 of a mile by 4.

When we do this we have to also multiply 0.50 by 4. This equals $2.00.

Now we know that for each mile a student walks they earn $2.00.

We know that the school is trying to raise $500 and we know that it is $2.00 earned per mile so now we can figure out how many miles the students will need to walk.

The way that this is done is by 500 and dividing it by 2. This leaves us with 250.

The students will have to walk 250 miles total to earn $500.

Hope this helped!!
