The expression for the distance is w=5/3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The wall has a width of 16.5 feet

A single poster has a width of 5 3/4 ft which is equal to 23/4 ft or 5.75 ft

For the two posters, the width occupied is ; 23/4 * 2 = 23/2 = 11.5 ft

Remaining width that will be unoccupied by the posters will be 16.5-11.5=5

A sketch of the wall with the two posters such that the edge of the wall is the same as the distance between the posters will show three un-covered spaces, from edge of wall to the first poster, then between the two posters, and lastly from the second poster to the other edge of the wall.

The un-covered 3 portions have an equal width, lets assume that they have a width of w ft

This means 3w will represent the uncovered width which equals to the unoccupied space of 5 ft

Form equation for the uncovered width as;

3w=5ft

w=5/3 ft ---------the distance from the edge of each poster to the nearest edge of wall.

pshichka [43]
We are given with the data of 490 milligrams of sodium content of burrito and 700 milligrams of sodium content of peanut butter sandwich. The total sodium consumption should be less than 4000 milligrams. We are told to represent he number of microwave burritos as x and the number of peanut butter sandwiches as y. The inequality equation thus is 490 x  + 700 y ≤ 4000.
