Allison is making bracelets to sell in a school craft show. Each bracelet takes her 12 minutes to make, and she's been making br
acelets for 120 minutes. She can spend no more than 300 minutes making bracelets. If x represents the remaining number of bracelets that Allison can make, which inequality represents the situation?
2 answers:
Let
x-------------> <span>represents the remaining number of bracelets that Allison can make
</span>
we know that
1) <span>for the first 120 minutes Allison can make
120/12=10 bracelets
</span>2) <span>for the next 180 minutes Allison can make
180/12=15 bracelets</span>
therefore
remaining minutes=300-120-------> 180 minutes
so
-----------> this <span>inequality represents the situation

Answer:
The answer is, 12x + 120 -< 300
Step-by-step explanation:
For the Plato users: This situation can be represented by a linear inequality. The time it takes to make one bracelet, 12 minutes, is the rate of change, which is multiplied by the remaining number of bracelets that Allison can make, x. The time she has already spent making bracelets, 120 minutes, is constant.
Allison cannot spend more than 300 minutes making bracelets, so the less than or equal to sign is used in the inequality. The correct inequality is shown below.

The initial value of the graph is where . Thus, in this case, the initial value is 12.
The rate of change of the graph is essentially the slope of the graph. In this case, we can use the slope formula:
and
are points on the graph
Let's use two points from the chart to find the slope:
In this case, the rate of change of the graph is 9.
