which inequality represents the following situation 3/5 times 5 less than a number is no more than 27
andrey2020 [161]

The answer is \frac{3}{5}(x-5) \leq 27


Let's build the expression piece by piece, translating sentences into formulas:


"3/5 times..." \to \frac{3}{5} \times \ldots


"5 less than a number..." \to x-5 \ldots


So, the first block becomes


"3/5 times 5 less than a number..." \to \frac{3}{5}(x-5) \ldots


"...is no more than 27" \ldots \leq 27


So, putting the pieces together, you have the answer

Talja [164]

Answer:

Each person will get 5.34 ounces of soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how many ounces of soda each person gets we need to take the total amount of soda Magalie brought to the party and divide it by the number of people that will drink the soda. In this case we have:

amount per person = 48/9 = 5.34 ounces

Each person will get 5.34 ounces of soda.
