A farmer wants to sell enough grain to get at least $2,400. if the selling price is $3 per bushel, how many bushels must he sell
1 answer:
Answer:
a) m x 3 ≥ 2,400 is the formed inequality.
b) The farmer should sell at least 800 bushels to earn an amount of $2,400
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the cost of each bushel = $3
The least money the farmer wants to earn = $2400
Let m be the number of bushels the farmer sells.
So, according to the question:
The money earned after selling m bushels at $3 each ≥ $2,400
or, m x ($3) ≥ $2,400
⇒
or, m ≥ 800
Hence, the farmer should at least 800 bushels to earn an amount of $2,400

The answer is 22 because in order to divide fractions (in this case we would have 11 as a fraction), you need to multiply one fraction by the reciprocal of the other fraction (the flipped form of a fraction).
To find this, we would do *
.
This would come to be , and when simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 9, you get 22.
