Answer:

Statements 1, 3, and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$480 = 12 days

To find daily sales, we want to figure out how much is made in 1 day. To do this, we can divide both sides by 12 to keep both sides equal but turn 12 days into 1. Thus, we have

$480/12 = 12/12 days

$40 = 1 day

We can go through the statements one by one.

1. $120 = 3 days

Does this match up with $40 = 1 day?  

Multiply $40 = 1 day by 3 on both sides to compare the two dollar amounts. We get

$120 = 3 days.

The statements match up so this is correct

2. $240 = 7 days

Multiply $40 = 1 day by 7 on both sides

$280 = 7 days

This is false

3. $440 = 11 days

Multiply both sides of $40 = 1 day by 11

$440 = 11 days

This is correct

4. $500 = 13 days

Multiply both sides of $40 = 1 day by 13

$520 = 13 days

This is incorrect

5. $640 = 16 days

Multiply both sides of $40 = 1 day by 16

$640 = 16 days

This is correct

6. $960 = 22 days

Multiply both sides of $40 = 1 day by 22

$880 = 22 days

This is incorrect
