Jerrica is packing a box that can hold at most 65 pounds. She starts by putting a container in the box that weighs 26 pounds. She plans to fill the rest of the box with books. Each book she places in the box weighs 1.3 pounds. Write an inequality for the number of books Jerrica can put in the box, and describe the solutions.(2 points)
---x+--- ≤---
, where x
is the number of books Jerrica can put in the box. Jerrica can put at most
books in the box.
Assuming that your using Connexus, these are the correct answers as of 01/19/2024. I apologize if these answers are incorrect over time.
1: m > 18.50
2: w < 250
3: w > 7.25
4: 4x + 30 ≥ 200, where x is the amount Carlos earns each Saturday morning. Carlos must earn at least $42.50 each Saturday morning to have at least $200 in four weeks.
5: 1.3x + 26 ≤ 65, where x is the number of books Jerrica can put in the box. Jerrica can put at most 30 books in the box.
Granted, this IS a practice so it shouldn't count towards your grade... but who am I to judge? ;)
Take care! I'll post the quick check answers soon.
I apologize for the confusion earlier. Based on the information provided, the inequality and its solution can be determined as follows:
Let x be the number of books Jerrica can put in the box.
The weight of the container is 26 pounds.
The weight of each book is 1.3 pounds.
Since Jerrica can fill the rest of the box with books, the total weight of the books must be less than or equal to the remaining weight capacity of the box:
1.3x ≤ 65 - 26
Simplifying the right side:
1.3x ≤ 39
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 1.3:
x ≤ 30
Therefore, the inequality for the number of books Jerrica can put in the box is:
1.3x ≤ 39
And the solution is:
Jerrica can put at most 30 books in the box.
1.3 26 65 and 30
Completed the quick check! Here are the answers as of 01/19/2024 :)
1. Maeve's Earnings Each Weekend
140 to 180
2. Weight of Each Box in the Elevator
183 to 0
3. at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
4. at least 12 push-ups each day for the rest of the week to meet her goal
5. serve more than 120 customers this week to meet his goal.
That's all for now! Bye! :D
Also, just a quick thing i forgot to note before i go: be sure to use the like and dislike buttons to let your fellow students know what's right and wrong! :)
Okay, bye for real now! <3
I apologize, but there seems to be some missing information in your question. Specifically, you have not provided the weight of the books that Jerrica plans to put in the box. Please provide the weight of the books, or any other relevant information, so that I can assist you further.
fill in the blanks
To write an inequality for the number of books Jerrica can put in the box, we need to consider the weight limit of the box.
Jerrica starts by putting a container in the box that weighs 26 pounds. The weight of the container is constant and does not change.
The weight of each book Jerrica places in the box is 1.3 pounds.
Let's assume Jerrica can put "x" number of books in the box.
Since the total weight of the container and the books cannot exceed the weight limit of 65 pounds, we can write the inequality as:
26 + 1.3x ≤ 65
Now, let's solve this inequality to find the maximum number of books Jerrica can put in the box.
26 + 1.3x ≤ 65
Subtract 26 from both sides:
1.3x ≤ 39
Now, divide both sides by 1.3:
x ≤ 30
Therefore, the inequality for the number of books Jerrica can put in the box is:
x ≤ 30
This means that Jerrica can put at most 30 books in the box.
