Answer:

He sold 7 more small boxes than large boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no of small boxes sold .

Cost of 1 small boxes of oranges = $5

Cost of x small boxes of oranges = 5x

Let y be the no. of large boxes sold

Cost of 1 large boxes of oranges = $9

Cost of y large boxes of oranges = 9y

He sold 17 boxes in all total for 105

So,x+y=17 ---1

So,5x+9y=105 ---2

Substitute the value of x from 1 in 2

5x+9(17-x)=105

5x+153-9x=105

153-105=4x

\frac{153-105}{4}=x

12=x

Substitute value of x in 1

12+y=17

y=17-12

y=5

Difference in no. of boxes = 12-5 = 7

So, He sold 7 more small boxes than large boxes

5 1/6 + (7 1/3)l &lt;60
agasfer [191]

Answer:

l

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

5\dfrac{1}{6}+7\dfrac{1}{3}l

First, convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

5\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5\cdot 6+1}{6}=\dfrac{31}{6}\\ \\7\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{7\cdot 3+1}{3}=\dfrac{22}{3}

Now the inequality looks like

\dfrac{31}{6}+\dfrac{22}{3}l

Multiply it by 6:

\dfrac{31}{6}\cdot 6+\dfrac{22}{3}l\cdot 6
