Answer:

<em>p ≥ 5</em>

<em>Scott will buy at least 5 kilograms of candy.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The candy Scott buys cost $7 per kilogram.

Let's set p=number of kilograms of candy Scott will buy.

The money spent to buy p kilograms of candy is 7p dollars.

The condition states he will spend at least $35 on candies, thus the following inequality is formed:

7p ≥ 35

Dividing by 7:

p ≥ 35/7

Operating:

p ≥ 5

Scott will buy at least 5 kilograms of candy.

At 2pm the level of the water in the pool was 10 feet. At 6pm the level of water was 2 feet. Find the constant rate of the water
adelina 88 [10]
Assuming that the pool was drained at a constant rate, the speed at which it was drained can be expressed as a function of time. In this case, the pool level will be expressed in feet per hour.

The time changed by 4 hours (6-2), and the level of the pool changed by -8 feet (2-10). Diving the feet by the hours to get the rate of decreasing depth, we find that the rate equals -2 feet/hour.
