Question

Jennifer bought 5 meters of ribbon. She gave 2 meters of ribbon to her sister. Jennifer will use some or all of the remaining ribbon for an art project. She needs 0.55 meters of ribbon for each piece she makes for the project. Which inequalities can represent this situation? Let y = the number of pieces that she will make for the project.

Answer 1

She has = 5- 2 = 3

3 >= y * 0.55 > 0.55

5 > y > 1 (truncate in case of count)
