An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve’s Earnings This Summer. The number line ranges from 0 to 180 in 20 unit increments. A closed point is plotted at 140. An arrow extends from that point to the right and goes beyond 180.

The correct illustration is the fourth one: An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve’s Earnings Each Weekend. The number line ranges from 0 to 2,000 in 500 unit increments. A closed point is plotted at 1,250. An arrow extends from that point to the right and goes beyond 2,000.
are u sure
Yes, I am sure. According to the given information, Maeve has $130 currently and she plans to earn more money each of the 8 weekends. She wants to have at least $1,250 by the end of the summer. If she earns the same amount each weekend, we need to find out how much she needs to earn each weekend to reach her goal.
Since she currently has $130 and wants to reach at least $1,250, she needs to earn $1,250 - $130 = $1,120 more.
Since she has 8 weekends to earn money, she needs to earn $1,120 / 8 = $140 each weekend.
Therefore, she needs to earn at least $140 each weekend. The fourth illustration correctly shows this information on a number line.
