We first write the fractions in their decimal forms and find out the ratio.

2 1/4 is equivalent to 2.25, and 1 1/3  is equivalent to 1.33

Ratio will be 2.25 / 1.33 = 1.69  or 1.7 rounded off. Since it cannot be simplified further, then the ratio of mulch to gravel will be 1.7: 1

Quantity of mulch sold → 1.7/2.7 of 172 →0.629 ×172 = 108.2 pounds

Quantity of gravel sold will be  172 -108. 2 = 63 .8 pounds

Please help me in questions 15 and 21 with their inequalities and graph
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

x >= 7 OR x < -8

n <= -3 AND n > -6

Step-by-step explanation:

15) 7x - 6 >= 43 OR 10x + 4 < -76

7x >= 43 + 6 OR 10x < -76 - 4

7x >= 49 OR 10x < -80

x >= 7 OR x < -8

you can draw based on this

for >= it is full dot for < it is like circle on the graph

you have to draw both x>= 7 , x < -8 on the same line because it is OR

so both ranges of x are possible

21) 3 + 2n <= -3 AND 1 - 3n < 19

2n <= -3 -3 AND -3n < 19 - 1

2n <= -6 AND -3n < 18

n <= -3 AND 3n > -18

n <= -3 AND n > -6

so it lies between -6 and -3
