Answer:

  6 lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

You essentially want the smallest integer solution to ...

  60x ≥ 350

  x ≥ 350/60

  x ≥ 5 5/6

The smallest integer solution to this is x = 6.

The minimum number of lengths of hose needed is 6.

_____

Informally, you know that dividing the required total length by the length of one hose will tell you the number of required hoses. You also know the ratio 350/60 is equivalent to 35/6 and that this will be between 5 and 6. (5·6 = 30; 6·6 = 36) The next higher integer value will be 6.

Answer:

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 330 items were sold, then the amount of burguers and chicken sandwiches sold must be equal to this value. From this information we have:

burguers + sandwiches = 330

We know that each burguer cost $9 and each chicken sandwich cost $11.25 and that we made a total of $3,375. So we have:

9*burguers + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

From the first equation we have:

burguers = 330 - sandwiches

Applying it on the second equation:

9*(330 - sandwiches) + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2,970 - 9*sandwiches + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2.25*sandwiches = 3,375 - 2,970

2.25*sandwiches = 405

sandwiches = 405/2.25 = 180

So,

burguers = 330 - 180  = 150

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.
