<span>15 0/1
In 5 1/4, multiply the whole number 5 by the denominator of the fraction 4 to get 20.<span> This shows that the whole number represents 20/4
</span></span><span>To find the numerator when an improper fraction use addition.
<span><span>20/4 <span>+ </span>1/4 = 21</span><span>/</span><span>4
</span></span></span><span>Flip 7/20 by swapping the numerator and the denominator to 20/7.
</span><span>Multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators. 21/4 X 20/7 = 420/28.
</span><span>Simplify fraction 420/28 by dividing out the greatest common factor which is 28 from the numerator and denominator. 420/28 = 15/1. 
</span><span>Divide the numerator 15 by the denominator 1 to get 15 with remainder 0. The remainder is the new numerator 15 0/1 is the answer to the mixed number.</span>

Jessica and Martha each have a bag of cookies with unequal quantities. They have 30 cookies total between the two of them. Each
Basile [38]

Answer:

Part 1) The inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has is x^{2} -30x+224\geq 0

Part 2) Jessica has at least 2 cookies more than Martha

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has

Let

x----> the number of cookies when Jessica started

30-x ----> the number of cookies when Martha started

we know that

Each of them ate 6 cookies from their bag

so

The cookies left in each bag are

(x-6)  ----> Jessica

and (30-x-6)=(24-x) ---> Martha

The product is equal to (x-6)(24-x)

The product of the number of cookies left in each bag is not more than 80.

so

(x-6)(24-x)\leq 80\\ \\24x-x^{2}-144+6x\leq 80\\ \\-x^{2} +30x-144-80\leq 0\\ \\-x^{2} +30x-224\leq 0

Multiply by -1 both sides

x^{2} -30x+224\geq 0

Part 2) Solve the quadratic equation

x^{2} -30x+224\geq 0

Solve by graphing

The solution is x=16 cookies

so

(30-x)=30-16=14 cookies

therefore

The number of cookies when Jessica started was 16 cookies

The number of cookies when Martha started was 14 cookies

The number of cookies left in each bag  is equal to

Jessica

16-6=10 cookies

Martha

14-6=8 cookies

Jessica has at least 2 cookies more than Martha
