Neil drives at an average speed of 60 miles/hour to reach his destination 480 miles away. On the way back, he decides to increas

e his speed to try to save at least one hour. If the increase in his speed is x miles/hour, create an inequality to find the minimum increase in his speed. 7 + x 480 ≥ ≤ = x + 60 7 x + 480

Answer:

  480/(x+60) ≤ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the relations ...

  time = distance/speed

  distance = speed×time

  speed = distance/time

to write the required inequality any of several ways.

Since the problem is posed in terms of time (7 hours) and an increase in speed (x), we can write the time inequality as ...

  480/(60+x) ≤ 7

Multiplying this by the denominator gives us a distance inequality:

  7(60+x) ≥ 480 . . . . . . at his desired speed, Neil will go no less than 480 miles in 7 hours

Or, we can write an inequality for the increase in speed directly:

  480/7 -60 ≤ x . . . . . . x is at least the difference between the speed of 480 miles in 7 hours and the speed of 60 miles per hour

___

Any of the above inequalities will give the desired value of x.

Suki buys dog food in large 13.4-pound bags. She feeds her dog 0.3 pound of food twice a day. How many full days will the bag of
kozerog [31]

Hi!

Suki feeds her dog 0,3 pound of food twice a day, which means that in one day, Suki gives her dog 2 * 0,3 = 0,6 pound of food.

The total amount of dog food Suki bought for her dog is 13,4 pound-bag. To find the number of days the bag of dog food will last, we have to divide the total amount of the bag of dog food, which is 13,4 pounds, by the amount of what Suki gives her dog every day, which is 0,6 pound of food, like this:

13,4/0,6 = (multiply both values with 10) = 134/6 = 22,33

Because it is asked for the number of full days, in this case that's the lower whole number, 22 is the answer.

The bag of dog food will last full 22 days.

Hope this helps!
