Ms. Estrada plans to take 36 chocolate chip cookies to sell at a bake sale. She wants to bake enough to keep at least 24 cookies for her cookie jar at home.Valentina is baking jumbo cinnamon rolls for a family breakfast. She uses all the dough she made to form 12 cinnamon rolls of equal weight. The recipe usually makes 36 ounces of dough, but Valentina made more dough than that so she can have larger cinnamon rolls.
Let x represent how many ounces of dough Valentina uses for each cinnamon roll
Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution.
The inequality can be represented as x >= 36/12.
Simplifying, we have x >= 3.
The solution to the inequality is that Valentina must use at least 3 ounces of dough for each cinnamon roll.
The inequality to solve is:
36 - x ≥ 24
To solve the inequality, we can subtract 24 from both sides:
36 - x - 24 ≥ 24 - 24
12 - x ≥ 0
Now, we can simplify further:
12 ≥ x
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 12.
To describe the solution: Valentina can use up to 12 ounces of dough for each cinnamon roll.
To solve the inequality, we need to set up an equation based on the given information and then solve for x.
The total dough that Valentina uses for the 12 cinnamon rolls is equal to the weight of each individual roll multiplied by the number of rolls. Since Valentina made larger rolls, we don't know the exact weight of each roll, but we can express it as x ounces.
Therefore, the total dough used is 12x ounces.
According to the information given, Valentina made more than 36 ounces of dough specifically for the cinnamon rolls, so we can set up the inequality:
12x > 36
Now, let's solve the inequality:
Divide both sides of the inequality by 12 to isolate x:
x > 36/12
Simplifying the right side:
x > 3
This means that Valentina used more than 3 ounces of dough for each cinnamon roll.
To complete the sentence, we can say: Valentina used more than 3 ounces of dough for each cinnamon roll.
