Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.

For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.

2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25

Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.

Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4

5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds

Factor this equation 75k^2+30k=-3
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

k=-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor and set each factor equal to zero.

Add 3 to both sides of the equation.

75k^2+30k+3=0

Factor 3 out of 75k^2+30k+3.

Factor using the perfect square rule.

Divide each term by 3 and simplify.

Set the 5k+1 equal to 0.

Solve for k.

Janine babysits for $14.50 per hour. She also works as a dishwasher at her family's restaurant for $9.50 per hour. Her family ne
FrozenT [24]
The system of inequalities are
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) 14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
3) 8 hours babysitting, 7 hours dishwashing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount per hour Janine makes from babysits = $14.50
The amount per hour Janine makes from dishwashing = $9.50
The minimum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 7 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 10 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can work each week = 7 hours
The minimum amount she wants to make each week = $140
Let x represent the number of hours Janine spends babysitting and let y represent the number of hours Janine spends dishwashing
1) From the question, we have;
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) Where
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
Making, y, the subject of the formula of the above inequalities and plotting as functions is given as follows;
y ≥ 140/9.5 - (14.5/9.5)·x
y ≤ 15 - x
3) In order to earn as much money as possible given that the amount Janine earns from babysitting is more than the amount she earns from dishwashing, Janine should spend the least amount of time dishwashing, which is 7 hours, as given, and then spend the remaining 8 hours babysitting to receive $14.5 × 8 + $9.5×7 = $182.5
