Ms. Alder rents a car for her business. She may drive it up to 5,000 miles per month without paying a penalty. So far this month, she has made 3 trips, each 1,247 miles. Can she make this same trip one more time this month? Choose the correct answer and explanation.

Yes, she can make this same trip one more time this month

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know if she can make the same trip one more time this month without paying a penalty

Mathematically, since the trip is same distance at all times

For a maximum of 4 trips, the distance per trip will be 5,000/4 = 1,250 miles

Since 4 * 1247 will definitely be less than 5,000;

this means that she can take a fourth trip in that month since she would not have exhausted the 5,000 miles without fine

the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is 2.
