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.

Simplify square root
NemiM [27]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

look up rules of multiplying radicals.

You can multiply the radicands (the number inside the square root) then take the square root of the new number.

3*21 = 63

Factor 63 into 3*3*7

Pull out 3^2 from inside the square root

leaves you with 3sqrt7 or answer C

The length of a rectangle has a measure of x and the width of a rectangle has a measure of (x-2). Find x if the area is 35.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

length = 7

pls mark me the brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Lw

35 = x (x -2)

35 = x2 - 2x

x2 -2x -35 = 0

(x-7)(x+5) = 0  

x-7=0

x=7       (we won't use the other factor since it would give us a negative length

so length = 7

Number 8 please it will help a lot
pickupchik [31]
Well it all depends on the object you are using but in this case lets say remote control cars. You can have an example like "we drove the car around the building twice. the first time it was -8 than how fast it was supposed to go. the second time it was 9. In which round was the car faster?" I dont think i helped very much but i hope i did
