I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, 5 STARS AND THANKS!!! When an inequality models a practical problem, why might some of the points on the
graph not be solutions to the problem even though they are solutions to the inequality?

Answer:
An inequality often covers an infinite area. Depending on the problem, any area either below or above the function is included in the set of solutions.
For example, see the attached photo.
y < x is graphed here.
When you substitute x = 0 into the function, y will equal 0 and this point is a solution to the problem. However, if any point under this line, such as (1, 0), (-9, 0), or even (1000000000, 0), was chosen, these are still solutions to the inequality, but not the problem.

Answer:
2.625 cups or 21 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Ava needs 3/4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. So, the ratio is 0.75 : 1.
She has 28 ounces of white paint. But, you have to convert ounces to cups.
1 cup = 8 ounces
28 ounces ÷ 8 ounces/cup = 3.5 cups
Now set up a ratio.
X (how much blue paint is needed) is over 3.5 cups (the amount of white paint she has)
Cross multiply and divide.
x = 0.75 × 3.5
x = 2.625 cups
To convert to ounces, multiply by 8.
2.625 cups × 8 ounces = 21 ounces
Therefore, Ava needs 2.625 cups or 21 ounces of blue paint.
Hope that helps.
