A tropical storm has been moving at 15 miles per hour for the past two days. Bess recorded that the storm moved 135 miles yesterday and 75 miles today. For how many hours has Bess been keeping track of the storm? Write and solve equations.
135 + 75 = 210 miles
210 ÷ 15 = 14 hours

What is 12 R 51?
A parking garage has 6 levels. Each level has 15 rows. There are 2,250 parking spaces in all. How many parking spaces are in each row? Write and solve equations to find the answer.
2,250 total spaces ÷ 6 levels = 375 spaces per level
375 spaces per row ÷ 15 rows = 25 spaces per row
or
15 rows x 6 levels = 90 rows total
2250 total spaces ÷ 90 rows = 25 spaces per row
