Answer:

(a)

r\geq  5

r+y\leq 15

8r+12y\geq 120

y\geq 0

(c)Maximum number of hours Lia can work at the restaurant and still meet her earnings goal = 15 hours

(d)Maximum Earning = $160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant.

Let y be the number of hours of yard work,

Lia must work at least 5 hours per week in her family’s restaurant for $8 per hour.

r\geq  5

Since she does yard work, y\geq 0

Lia’s parents allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week overall.

r+y\leq 15

Lia’s goal is to earn at least $120 per week.

The restaurant, r pays $8 per hour

Yard work, y pays $12 per hour.

Therefore:

8r+12y\geq 120

The system of inequalities that represent this problem is therefore:

r\geq  5

r+y\leq 15

8r+12y\geq 120

y\geq 0

(b)The graph of the inequality is attached below

(c)When the graph is plotted, the vertices of the feasible region are:

  • (5,10)
  • (5, 6.7)
  • (15,0)

Where the first term is for the number of hours worked in the restaurant.

The maximum value of r possible is 15 from the three points.

Therefore, she can work at the restaurant for 15 hours and still meet her earning goal.

(d)Maximum Amount Lia can earn in 1 Week

  • At (5,10), Earning=(5X8)+(10X12)=40+120=$160
  • At (5, 6.7), Earning=(5X8)+(6.7X12)=40+80.4=$120.4
  • At (15,0) Earning=(15X8)+(0X12)=$120

Since she has to work at least 5 hours at the restaurant, the maximum amount possible is $160.

What fraction is equivalent to 20 in simplest fraction form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

I believe its 20% or 20/100 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i mean, 20% is 20/100 or 1/5. the number already a fraction. the denominator is out of 100.

20% = 20/100

then you change it to simpliest form.

20 / 20 = 1

100 / 20 = 5 = 1/5

<h3>Answer:   Choice B)  45/56</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

When we divide two fractions like this, we flip the second fraction and multiply like so...

\frac{5}{7} \div \frac{8}{9}\\\\\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{9}{8}\\\\\frac{5 \times 9}{7 \times 8}\\\\\frac{45}{56}\\\\

which points us to choice B as the answer.

The fraction 45/56 cannot be reduced further because 45 and 56 do not have any factors in common other than 1.
