The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.

I have two other ways:

Way #1:

5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.

We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.

There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.


Way #2:

-- Get 2 friends to help you.

-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.

-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
   Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.

-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
   Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.

-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.

Jeff sells popcorn for $3 per bag. To make a profit each day, he needs to sell at least $120 worth of popcorn. He has sold $36 w
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The inequality tha can be used to find how many more bags of popcorn Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit is

x - 12 ≥ 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of bags of popcorn as p

Jeff sells popcorn for $3 per bag. To make a profit each day, he needs to sell at least $120 worth of popcorn.

We have the equation:

$3 × p ≥ $120

3p ≥ $120

p ≥ 120/3

p ≥ 40 bags

He must sell at least 40 bags to make a profit

He has sold $36 worth of popcorn today.

1 bag is $3

Hence, he has sold

$36/$3 = 12 bags of popcorn

Which inequality can be used to find Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit?

This equality is given as:

x - 12 bags ≥ 40 bags

x - 12 ≥ 40

x ≥40 - 12

x ≥ 28 bags

She still need to sell 28 more bags of popcorn.

If x represents an even number, which expression represents an odd number?
Sauron [17]
Test the choices !
Pick an even number, and see what each choice does to it.

Let's start with, say,  6 .
We'll try each choice, and see which one produces an odd number:

a).  6 to the 2nd power. . . . . .  6 x 6 = 36.  That's not an odd number.

b).  6 + 3  =  9  This could be it.  9 is odd. We'll save this one.

c).  3·6 = 18.  That's not an odd number.

d).  6/3 = 2.  That's not an odd number.

The only one that gave us an odd number is (b).
