Liam is making barbecue ribs over a fire. The internal temperature of the ribs when he starts cooking is 40°F. During each hour

of cooking, the internal temperature will increase by 25%. The ribs are safe to eat when they reach 165°F.
Use the drop-down menus to complete an inequality that can be solved to find how much time, t, it will take for the internal temperature to reach at least 165°F.

Answer: You need to wait at least 6.4 hours to eat the ribs.

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature is 40°F, and it increases by 25% each hour.

This means that during hour 0 the temperature is 40° F

after the first hour, at h = 1h we have an increase of 25%, this means that the new temperature is:

T = 40° F + 0.25*40° F = 1.25*40° F

after another hour we have another increase of 25%, the temperature now is:

T = (1.25*40° F) + 0.25*(1.25*40° F) = (40° F)*(1.25)^2

Now, we can model the temperature at the hour h as:

T(h) = (40°f)*1.25^h

now we want to find the number of hours needed to get the temperature equal to 165°F. which is the minimum temperature that the ribs need to reach in order to be safe to eaten.

So we have:

(40°f)*1.25^h = 165° F

1.25^h = 165/40 = 4.125

h = ln(4.125)/ln(1.25)  = 6.4 hours.

then the inequality is:

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Compare the given dimensions of four triangles. Which triangle is possible to construct? side lengths of 5 ft, 12 ft, and 13 ft
kobusy [5.1K]
(5,12,13) is a right triangle and can be constructed.
All the others do not satisfy the triangle inequality, i.e. the sum of two short sides must exceed the long side in order for the triangle to be constructed.
Examples:
2+11<15, so no
3+7<11, so no
4+8<15, so no
but 5+12>13  so yes, it can be constructed.
