Your class collected more than 250 cans of food for the annual food drive. In the first week, 115 cans were collected. How many cans c of food were collected in the second week? Write and solve an inequality.
A. 115 + c < 250; c < 135
B. 115 + c > 250; c > 135
C. c – 115 ≥ 250; c > 365
D. c + 115 > 250; c > 365
115 + c > 250
assuming the food drive lasted only two weeks...
Well, well, well, it seems like your class has quite the appetite for generosity! Let's figure out how many cans were collected in the second week.
Since the class collected more than 250 cans in total, we can set up an inequality to represent this. Let's call the number of cans collected in the second week "c."
The total number of cans collected is given by the sum of the cans from the first week (115) and the cans from the second week (c). So, our inequality becomes:
115 + c > 250
Now, we just need to solve it. We want to find the value of "c" that makes this statement true, so we'll isolate "c" on one side:
c > 250 - 115
c > 135
So, the correct answer is B. The number of cans collected in the second week is greater than 135. Keep up the great work with the food drive, and don't forget to clown around a bit while doing it!
To solve this problem, let's set up an inequality.
Let c represent the number of cans collected in the second week.
The total number of cans collected is the sum of the cans collected in the first week (115) and the cans collected in the second week (c).
We know that the total number of cans collected is more than 250.
Therefore, the inequality can be written as:
115 + c > 250
Simplifying the inequality, we can subtract 115 from both sides:
c > 250 - 115
c > 135
So, the correct answer is B. 115 + c > 250; c > 135.
To solve this problem, we can set up an inequality. Let's call the number of cans collected in the second week "c". The total number of cans collected will be the sum of the number of cans collected in the first week (115) and the number of cans collected in the second week (c).
The total number of cans collected is more than 250. So, we can represent this as an inequality: 115 + c > 250.
To solve for "c" in this inequality, we need to isolate it on one side of the inequality sign. We can do this by subtracting 115 from both sides of the inequality:
115 + c - 115 > 250 - 115
Simplifying, we get:
c > 135
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. 115 + c > 250; c > 135.
