Jake earns $11.50 each time he mows the lawn for his parents. He has earned $69. Use the equation below to find the number of times he has mowed the lawn (m) for his parents. 69 = 11.5m

So -- what do you do next with this equation?

Do I flip the equation around like this? -11.5m = 69???

No. You need to divide both sides of the equation by 11.5.

Oh, thank you so much!!!

You're welcome.

To find the number of times Jake has mowed the lawn (m), you can use the given equation:

69 = 11.5m

To solve for m, divide both sides of the equation by 11.5:

69 / 11.5 = m

Simplifying this expression, you get:

6 = m

Therefore, Jake has mowed the lawn for his parents 6 times.
