A class has $90 to spend on a field trip. The field trip costs $2.50 per person and there will be 5 chaperones on the trip. One

student used the inequality 90 greater-than 2.50 (x + 5) to find x, the number of students that the field trip budget could accommodate. Which best describes the error in the student’s inequality?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of students

(x+5) is the number of students and chaperons

$2.50·(x+5) is the amount of money the number of students and chaperons will pay for the trip, and that number should be less or equal than $90 because those are all the money they have

2.50(x+5) ≤ 90 which is the same as 90 ≥ 2.50(x+5)

The inequality "90 greater-than 2.50 (x + 5) "

90 > 2.50(x+5) is an error becase it excludes the possibility that <u>the trip can cost exact $90</u> so we need not just greater than > , yet greater and equal than ≥ sign

90 ≥ 2.50(x+5)

The sum of five consecutive numbers is -75. Which number is the least of these five numbers?
Ivan
Hello! I can help you with this! Do -75/5 to get -15. -15 will be your middle number. So for consecutive integers, -13 + -14 + -15 + -16 + -17 = 75. Those are five consecutive integers that have a sum of 75. The lowest of 5 integers is -17, because it’s the smallest of them all and the furthest to the left of the number line. A line further to the left of the number line means it’s smaller. Therefore, the rest of the five integers is -17.

NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no of cars be x and no of buses be y.

x + y = 60 -> y = 60 - x

6x + 30y = 600

with the available equations let us calculate the values of x and y.

6x + 30 * (60-x) = 600

6x + 1800 - 30x = 600

24x = 1200

x cars = 50

y buses = 10

maximum profit = 50 * 2.5 + 10 * 7.5 = $200

liubo4ka [24]
Among the four choices, theorems is the best possible answer. Postulate, by definition, is a statement that is assumed to be true without proof while theorems are true statements that can be proven. Both of these types of statements are used to justify geometrical equations, illustrations and statements.
