Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the equation that relates the number of flyers handed out to the time taken by Margie and Jackson, we can use the concept of a constant rate. The equation should express the relationship between the number of flyers handed out and the time taken.
Margie hands out 100 flyers in 2 hours, which can be expressed as a rate: \( \frac{100 \text{ flyers}}{2 \text{ hours}} \).
Jackson hands out 18 flyers in 15 minutes, which we'll convert to hours: \( \frac{18 \text{ flyers}}{15 \text{ minutes}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ minutes}} \).
Let \( x \) be the number of flyers Jackson would hand out in 2 hours.
The equation representing this relationship is:
\[ \frac{18 \text{ flyers}}{15 \text{ minutes}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{x \text{ flyers}}{2 \text{ hours}} \]
Solving this equation will help determine the number of flyers Jackson would hand out in 2 hours, given his rate of distributing flyers.
