Answer:

6 bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you want to know how many 3/8 lb bananas you need to arrive at BETWEEN 2 and 2 1/2 lbs of that fruit.

The appropriate inequality would be:

2 lb  ≤  [ (3/8) lb ]x  ≤  2  1/2 lb.

We can make this problem easier to solve by using fractions throughout.  The LCD here is 8.  Note that 1 = 8/8 and 2 = 16/8.  Also, 1/2 = 4/8, so that 2 1/2 =  2 4/8 = 20/8.

Then  2 lb  ≤  [ (3/8) lb ]x  ≤  2  1/2 lb  becomes:

         16/8 lb ≤  (3/8 lb)x  ≤ 20/8 lb.  Multiplying this through by 8 to remove the fractions, we get:

            16 ≤  3x  ≤  20, '

Looking first at 16 ≤ 3x, we get 16/3 ≤ x   or   x ≥ 16/3.  But we're speaking ONLY of WHOLE bananas, not thirds of bananas.  Thus, x > 18/3, or x ≥  6.

Going through a similar process with  3x ≤ 20, we get x ≤ 20/3.  The first integer x value smaller than 20/3 is 18/3, or 6.

So there is only one possible value for x:  It is 6, as in 6 bananas.  This satisfies the original inequality   2 lb  ≤  [ (3/8) lb ]x  ≤  2  1/2 lb.

How can you prove a triangle is a right triangle?
Darina [25.2K]
Your answer would be option 2. Use the slope formula to see if any sides are perpendicular. This is because a right triangle must have 2 perpendicular sides that form a 90° angle for it to be a right triangle, so finding these would prove it.
I hope this helps!

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
35. 

5/9= 0.555555556

0.55555556*63=35

2/3= 0.6666666667

0.666666667*63= 42

63-35=28

42-28=14
She has 35 unplanted flowers and must plant 14 more in order to have filled 2/3 of her flower bed.
