Use ratio and proportion:  


$29.50 is to 250 ft. as how much is to 40 ft.  

29.5 / 250 = x / 40  

x = 40(29.5) / 250  

x = 1180 / 250  

x = 4.72  

40 ft. would cost $4.72

Here's how you solve it!

250/2950 = 40/x

x(250/2950) = (40/x)x

250x/2950 = 40

2950(250x/2950) = (40)2950

250x = 118,000

250x/250 = 118,00/250

x = 472

The cost of 40 ft of cable is 472.


Hope this helps! <3

the Spanish club is selling churros as a fundraiser. If its goal is to raise at least $150, how many churros must it sell at $1.
nekit [7.7K]

Let

x-------> the number of churros sold

we know that

1.25x \geq 150 -----> inequality that represent the situation

Solve for x

Divide by 1.25 both sides

x \geq 150/1.25

x \geq 120\ churros

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The minimum number of churros that must be sold is 120

The ideal width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is 6 cm. The actual width can vary by at most 0.45 cm. Write an
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

|x-6|\le 0.45

x\in [5.55,6.45]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Absolute Value Inequality</u>

Assume the actual width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is x. We know the ideal width of the strap is 6 cm. This means the variation from the ideal width is x-6.

Note if x is less than 6, then the variation is negative. We usually don't care about the sign of the variation, just the number. That is why we need to use the absolute value function.

The variation (unsigned) from the ideal width is:

|x-6|

The question requires that the variation is at most 0.45 cm. That poses the inequality:

|x-6|\le 0.45

That is the range of acceptable widths. Let's now solve the inequality.

To solve an inequality for an absolute value less than a positive number N, we write:

-0.45\le x-6 \le 0.45

This is a double inequality than can be easily solved by adding 6 to all the sides.

-0.45+6\le x \le 0.45+6

Operating:

5.55\le x \le 6.45

That is the solution in inequality form. Expressing in interval form:

\boxed{x\in [5.55,6.45]}
