Solution

(a) To find out how many pounds of rice Aldo got per dollar, we need to divide the total pounds of rice he bought by the total amount of money he spent.

So, 7 pounds ÷ $4 = 1.75 pounds per dollar.

(b) To find out how many miles Maya runs per minute, we need to divide the total miles she runs by the total amount of time she spends running.

So, 4 miles ÷ 29 minutes = 0.14 miles per minute.
