Let's assume that Jean drove x km.
According to the given information, Marc drove twice as much as Jean, so Marc drove 2x km.
Michelle drove 100km more than Marc, so Michelle drove 2x + 100 km.
The total distance driven by all three is the sum of the distances driven by each individual:

Distance driven by Jean: x km
Distance driven by Marc: 2x km
Distance driven by Michelle: 2x + 100 km

The total distance driven by all three is given as not exceeding 1350km:

x + 2x + 2x + 100 = 1350

Simplifying the inequality:

5x + 100 = 1350

Subtracting 100 from both sides:

5x = 1250

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = 250

Since x represents the distance driven by Jean, the value for x is 250 km.

Answer: Jean drove 250 km.

Which statement best describes the key changes in perspectives on inclusion? An inclusive program must consider the unique experiences of every child and family as well as the child's strengths and needs. There is a shift in thinking about individual programs as "inclusive programs" to thinking about inclusion as something that reflects the cultural influence of the family. There is a greater emphasis on barriers to full participation and the acknowledgement that all children are unique and must be fully and meaningfully engaged in a program. In an inclusive program all participants are accepted by their peers and other members of the community.
