The correct answer is 6; 90.
If Jesse can complete 48 math problems in 8 minutes, we can find the rate at which she completes math problems.
48 math problems / 8 minutes = 6 math problems per minute
Therefore, she can complete 6 math problems in 1 minute.
To find out how many math problems she can complete in 15 minutes, we can multiply her rate by the number of minutes.
6 math problems per minute * 15 minutes = 90 math problems
Therefore, she can complete 90 math problems in 15 minutes.
