Answer 1

Answer:

[22,42]

Step-by-step explanation:

Division

We must find an interval for the number of visits Casey needs to make to her parents to earn the gold status. The lower limit for that status is 16500 miles.

Each round trip flight Casey takes to visit her parents is 750 miles long. To know the minimum number of visits needed, we divide 16500 / 750= 22. To know the maximum number of visits, we divide 31500 / 750 = 42.

Thus, to earn the gold status at awesome airlines, Casey must go between 22 and 42 times to visit her parents. Expressing in interval notation: [22,42]
