Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the law of variation,
y <> 1/x, where <> is the constant of proportionality. Therefore
y = k/x where k is a constant
3 = k/5 and k = 15
To find x when y = 2.5(5/2)
Go back to the second equation
y = k/x
5/2 = 15/x
When you cross multiply
5x = 30.
Divide through by 5,
x = 6.
Let us suppose number of rides is x.One ride costs $0.50.
Cost of x rides is 0.50x. The carnival charges is $5. Alex has $15 to spend .
Number of rides at most Alex can have can be given by the inequality:
0.50x+5≤ 15
To solve for x we subtract 5 both sides
0.50x≤ 15-5
0.50x≤ 10
Dividing both sides by 0.50 we have :
x≤ 20
Number of rides at most Alex can have is 20.
