Question

Caren is making rice and beans. She can spend no more than $10 on the ingredients. Which situation is represented by the inequality 10≥4.99+0.74x ?

Answer 1

If you are given $10 every 3.5 hours and you want to find the unit rate per hour, you want to solve for how much money you make every hour. You do this by dividing the $10 by the 3.5 hours, which will result in about $2.86 per hour. (This is a rounded value)
