Answer:
good to know. but what's the question?
t = number of tickets
15t ≥ 1500
so....
step 1. 15t ≥ 1500 --> divide both sides by 15 --> 15t/15 ≥ 1500/15
step 2. t ≥ 100
So 100 at the least, ticket should be sold to reach atleast $1500.
I hope this helps. :)

The slope-intercept form is
y
=
m
x
+
b
, where
m
is the slope and
b
is the y-intercept.
y
=

Find the values of
m
and
b
using the form

The slope of the line is the value of
m
, and the y-intercept is the value of
b
.

Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/4 miles => 1 week
1 mile => 1 ÷ 9/4
( 9/4 is an improper fraction of 2 1/4 )
12 1/2 miles => ( 1 ÷ 9/4 ) × 25/2
= 50/9
= 5 5/9 weeks
( 25/2 is an improper fraction of 12 1/2 )
Therefore, it will take 5 5/9 weeks for the company to replace the stretch of road.
( you can round it off to 6 weeks if the qn specify to give to the nearest whole number )
