Question

when lucia plays golf at the rolling hills golf course, she loses about 12 balls on average. when she plays golf at the meandering meadows golf course, she loses about 8 balls on average. if lucia lost approximately 100 balls after playing at rolling hills r times and meandering meadows m times, which of the following equation best represents the relationship between r and m? 8r + 12m = 100 12r + 8m = 100 12r - 8m = 100 8r - 12m = 100

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate balls lost at Rolling Hills

Number of balls lost at Rolling Hills = \(12r\) (since 12 balls lost per visit and \(r\) visits).

Step2: Calculate balls lost at Meandering Meadows

Number of balls lost at Meandering Meadows = \(8m\) (since 8 balls lost per visit and \(m\) visits).

Step3: Set up total balls lost equation

Total balls lost = balls lost at Rolling Hills + balls lost at Meandering Meadows. So \(12r + 8m=100\).

Answer:

B. \(12r + 8m = 100\)
