A student was working on the problem below: Mr. Braun has $85.00 to spend on pizzas and soda pop for a picnic. Pizzas cost $11.0

0 each and the drinks cost $0.90 each. Four times as many drinks as pizzas are needed. What is the maximum number of pizzas that Mr. Braun can buy? The student began by writing the let statement: Let x = # of pizzas Then the student wrote the inequality: \displaystyle 11.00(x)+0.90(4x)\ge85.0011.00(x)+0.90(4x)≥85.00 The student made a MISTAKE. Describe the student's error and explain how you know it's wrong. (Do not solve the inequality.)

Answer:

11x + 0.90(4x) ≤ $85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pizzas be represented by p

Let the number of sodas be represented by s

Mr. Braun has $85.00 to spend on pizzas and soda pop for a picnic. Pizzas cost $11.00 each and the drinks cost $0.90 each.

$11 × p + $0.90 × s = $85

11x + 0.90y ≤ $85.......Equation 1

Four times as many drinks as pizzas are needed.

4p = s

We substitute 4p for s in Equation 1

11x + 0.90(4p) ≤ $85

What is the maximum number of pizzas that Mr. Braun can buy?

The maximum number of pizzas Mr Braun can buy =

11x + 0.90(4p) ≤ $85

The student's error has to do with the inequality sign. The student used greater than or equal to.

The correct sign is less than or equal to because Mr Braun has only $85 to spend.

Blue cassests hold 45 min. Of music
zhannawk [14.2K]
Let the number of Blue casset be b and that of green be g.
Thus the total number of cassets will be:
b+g=16
hence
g=16-b.......i

The total amount was:
45b+55g=830..ii
plugging i in ii we get:
45b+55(16-b)=830
45b+880-55b=830
simplifying 
45b-55b=830-880
-10b=-50
thus
b=5
hence
g=16-5=11
number of blue cassets was 5 and that of green was 11

Find the area of the rectangle.
aev [14]

Answer:

69y+23

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle will always be length times width or width times length, doesn't matter which way.

In this case, the width is 3y+1 miles and the length is 23 miles. So, the area is 23(3y+1)=23*3*y+23*1=69*y+23.

So, the area is \boxed{69y+23} and we're done.

Malcom is filling bags with rice . He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each bag with 5/8 pounds of rice . H
timama [110]

Answer:

Malcolm would fill 8 bags of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the container of rice = 5\frac{1}{4} pounds = \frac{21}{4} pounds.

Each bag of rice has a capacity of \frac{5}{8} pounds.

The number of bags of rice that Malcolm fills = \frac{total quantity of rice}{capacity of each bag}

                                          =  \frac{21}{4} ÷ \frac{5}{8}

                                          =  \frac{21}{4} x \frac{8}{5}

                                          = \frac{42}{5}

                                          = 8\frac{2}{5}

Therefore, Malcolm would be able to fill 8 bags of rice.
