Answer:

they have it on calculator soup

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

D. 31<m<43

Step-by-step explanation:

45 x 5 = 225 which is the age of the 5 joggers altogether.

55 x 2 = 110 which is the age of the 2 joggers together.

3m + 110 = 225 then solve for m so,

3m = 115

m = 38.3333

so hence, m is greater than 31 but less than 43.

answer: D
