Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the minimum number of cars Carole must wash to be able to buy the ticket to the musical.

Carole has $53.95 and washes cars for $8 each. This means that the total amount that she would earn after washing x cars is

8x + 53.95

Carole wants to attend a musical that costs $145.75. Therefore, the inequality to determine the minimum number of cars that Carole must wash to be able to buy the ticket to the musical is

8x + 53.95 ≥ 145.75

8x ≥ 145.75 - 53.95

8x ≥ 91.8

x ≥ 91.8/8

x ≥ 11.475

b) it is not the same. The minimum number of cars that Carole must wash is 12 because the number of cars cannot be a fraction and if she washes 11 cars, she cannot raise the needed amount.

Stephanie had seven add an 8 pound of bird seed she use three out of 8 pound to fill a bird feeder f Stephanie had 7 pound of bi

natulia [17]

So if I understand correctly, she had 7 1/8 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pound.
Convert the 7 1/8 to an improper fraction [(8*7)+1]/8 =57/8
57/8 - 3/8 = 54/8, which is 6 6/8 which reduces to 6 3/4 pounds left

If she had 7 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pounds, you need to find a common denominator to subtract if you can't do it in your head. 8 would be the common denominator, so:
56/8 - 3/8 = 53/8, which is 6 5/8 pounds left
