Answer: Choice 3) 0, 3.9, and 5.1

Basically almost every value of that set but leaving out 10.2

--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The given set of values is {0, 3.9, 5.1, 10.2}

Let's check each number of that set one value at a time.

--------------------------------------------------
Checking x = 0

Replace every copy of x with 0, then use PEMDAS to simplify each side

We need to see if we get a true inequality or not

8.9 - 0.3x \ge 0.8x

8.9 - 0.3*0 \ge 0.8*0

8.9 - 0 \ge 0

8.9 \ge 0

The last inequality is TRUE (8.9 is greater than 0). 

So x = 0 is part of the solution set.
--------------------------------------------------
Checking x = 3.9

Repeat the same steps as done previously (with x = 0). 

This time we replace every x with 3.9, but the remaining general steps are the same more or less.

8.9 - 0.3x \ge 0.8x

8.9 - 0.3*3.9 \ge 0.8*3.9

8.9 - 1.17 \ge 3.12

7.73 \ge 3.12

The last inequality is TRUE (7.73 is greater than 3.12). 

The value x = 3.9 is also part of the solution set.
--------------------------------------------------
Checking x = 5.1

Follow the same outline. This time we use 5.1 in place of x.

8.9 - 0.3x \ge 0.8x

8.9 - 0.3*5.1 \ge 0.8*5.1

8.9 - 1.53 \ge 4.08

7.37 \ge 4.08

The last inequality is TRUE (7.37 is greater than 4.08). 

The value x = 5.1 joins in with the other two values that are part of the solution set. 
--------------------------------------------------
Checking x = 10.2

Now replace every x value with 10.2

8.9 - 0.3x \ge 0.8x

8.9 - 0.3*10.2 \ge 0.8*10.2

8.9 - 3.06 \ge 8.16

5.84 \ge 8.16

The last inequality is FALSE (5.84 is not larger than 8.16, nor is it it equal; 5.84 is smaller than 8.16). 

Because we have a false inequality result, we can say that x = 10.2 is NOT part of the solution set.

If you want, you can use a red pen to cross off 10.2 to visually remind you that 10.2 is not part of the solution set.
--------------------------------------------------

So in summary we found x = 0, x = 3.9 and x = 5.1 to satisfy (make true) the original inequality. 

The only value, from that set, to make the original inequality false is the value x = 10.2

This is why the answer is choice 3. 

--------------------------------------------------
Side Note (extra optional info)

If we solve the given inquality for x, we get the following:

8.9 - 0.3x \ge 0.8x

8.9 - 0.3x + 0.3x \ge 0.8x + 0.3x

8.9 \ge 1.1x

1.1x \le 8.9

\frac{1.1x}{1.1} \le \frac{8.9}{1.1}

x \le 8.09

The value 8.09 is approximate

Since the solution set is x values that satisfy x \le 8.09, this basically means any value smaller than 8.09 will work. Those values include: 0, 3.9 and 5.1. The value 10.2 is not smaller than 8.09 which is why it is excluded.

A 14-ounce box of cereal sells for $2.10. What is the unit rate?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The unit rate is equal to 0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The unit rate is the ratio of two measurements in which the second term is equal to one

In this problem to find the unit rate, divide the total cost of cereal by the total weight of cereal

so

\frac{2.10}{14}\frac{\$}{ounces} =0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}

therefore

The unit rate is equal to 0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}
