Isabel will spend less than $27 on gifts. So far, she has spent $18. What are the possible additional amounts she will spend?
Use for the additional amount (in dollars) Isabel will spend.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.
We are given that Isabel will spend less than $27 on gifts and she has already spent $18. Let c represent the additional amount she will spend.
We can create an inequality to represent this situation:
$18 + c < $27
Simplifying the inequality, we have:
c < $27 - $18
c < $9
Therefore, the possible additional amounts Isabel will spend are just any amount less than $9. Thus, the inequality solution is c < $9.
Shen runs each lap in 6 minutes. He will run at least 5 laps today. What are the possible numbers of minutes he will run today?
Use t for the number of minutes he will run today.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.
We are given that Shen runs each lap in 6 minutes and he will run at least 5 laps today. Let t represent the number of minutes he will run today.
We can create an inequality to represent this situation:
6t ≥ 5 laps
Since he runs each lap in 6 minutes, the total number of minutes he will run today is 6 times the number of laps.
Therefore, the inequality solution is:
t ≥ (5 laps) * (6 minutes/lap)
t ≥ 30 minutes
Alan buys candy that costs $4 per pound. He will spend at most $36 on candy. What are the possible numbers of pounds he will buy?
Use for the number of pounds Alan will buy.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for p.
We are given that the candy costs $4 per pound and Alan will spend at most $36 on candy. Let p represent the number of pounds Alan will buy.
We can create an inequality to represent this situation:
$4p ≤ $36
Simplifying the inequality, we have:
p ≤ $36 / $4
p ≤ 9
Therefore, the possible number of pounds Alan will buy is any value less than or equal to 9. Thus, the inequality solution is p ≤ 9.
Ahmad went to a store and bought 3 items. Each item cost $21. How much did he spend?
To find out how much Ahmad spent, we need to multiply the cost of each item by the number of items.
Each item costs $21, and Ahmad bought 3 items, so the total cost is:
$21 x 3 = $63
Therefore, Ahmad spent $63.
