Question

Horace is a professional hair stylist.

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75(5)+1.25(a)<7

3.75+1.25(a)<7

1.25(a)<3.25

a<2.6

therefore Horace can give 2.6 more haircuts but you can't do 2.6 of a haircut so with the remaining time he can do 2.

Answer 2

Answer:

Horacio can cut the hair of 2 adults before the end of 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of haircuts that Horacio can make to adults in the time he has left, you must first replace in inequality the number of haircuts he made to children and then resolve the inequality.

1. First replace the number of child haircuts on the inequality:

0.75C +1.25 A <7

0.75(5)+1.25A<7

3.75+1.25A<7

2. Solve for A:

1.25A<7-3.75

1.25A<3.25

A<$\frac{3.25}{1.25}$

A<2.6

Therefore Horacio can cut the hair of 2 adults before the end of 7 hours
