Please help solve: i'm helping my niece from out of town and she only has worksheet not book, with her and my math is rusty. Problem: if it takes Trixie 8 minutes to run a mile, then 8m represents her total time where "m" is the number of miles she has run. List the ordered pairs (number of miles, total time) for 0, 1,2, and 3 miles.
I thought, 0,8,16,24, but then saw they want "ordered pairs" so I guess that is not the correct thought process I'm using.
Thank you
I think i figured it out actually, think (0,0) (1,8) (2,16) (3,24), thanks though

That's correct. Those ordered pairs represent coordinates of points (m, 8m) -- where m is the x-coordinate and 8m is the y-coordinate.
