Answer:

Part A) The system of inequalities are

x+y\leq 15

4x+8y\geq 80

Part B) The graph in the attached figure

Part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Write a system of inequalities that can be used to represent the situation.

Let

x ----> the number of hours worked as a babysitter

y ----> the number of hours worked as a library assistant

we know that

She is able to work no more than 15 hours a week

so

x+y\leq 15 -----> inequality A

Edith wants to  earn at least $80 a week

The word "at least" means " greater than or equal to"

so

4x+8y\geq 80 ----> inequality B

Part B) Graph these inequalities on the set of axes.

Using a graphing tool

The solution of the system is the triangular shaded area in the attached figure

Part C) Determine and state one combination of hours that will allow Edith to earn at least $80 per week  while working no more than 15 hours

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must satisfy both inequalities. (The ordered pair lie in the shaded area of the solution set)

Looking at the graph

The ordered pair (4,9) lie in the shaded area

<u><em>Verify if the ordered pair satisfy both inequalities</em></u>

Inequality A

4+9\leq 15

13\leq 15 ---> is true

so

The ordered pair satisfy the inequality A

Inequality B

4(4)+8(9)\geq 80

88\geq 80 --> is true

so

The ordered pair satisfy the inequality B

therefore

The ordered pair is a solution of the system

(4,9)

That means

The number of hours worked as a babysitter in a week is 4 and  the number of hours worked as a library assistant  in a week is 9

Frank has 24 pennies, 62 nickels, 55 dimes, 16 quarters, and 19 fifty-cent pieces. How much money does he have?
erik [133]

Answer:

$22.34

Step-by-step explanation:

24 pennies is .24 of a dollar

62 nickels will be: (62 x 5) / 100 = 3.10

55 dimes is 5.5

16 quarters will be 4.0

19 fifty-cents will be 9.5

Add them up to get $22.34 if I’m right.

Hope this helped.

One slice of cheese pizza contains 310 calories. A medium-size orange has one-fifth that number of calories. How many calories a
I am Lyosha [343]
The medium sized orange would have 62 calories. To divide by 1/5, which in decimal form is 0.2, you just multiply 310 by 0.2, therefore, giving you 62. Hope this helps!

The mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8

<h3>How to express the mixed number as an improper fraction?</h3>

The diameter is give as:

Diameter = 4 5/8

Next we convert the above number to an improper fraction

The numerator is calculated as

Numerator = 8 * 4 + 5

This gives

Numerator = 37

Hence, the mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8
