The weight of a fruit basket containing apples, pears and the basket itself cannot exceed 15 pounds. If the basket and apples we
igh 10.5 pounds and each pear weighs 0.25 pounds, how many pears can go into each basket. Set up and solve an algebraic inequality. Show your work
1 answer:
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of pears be “x”.
10.5 + 0.25x < 15
0.25x < 15 - 10.5
0.25x < 4.5
x < 18
In conclusion: 18 pears can go into each basket.
(Double check: 10.5 + 0.25 * 18 = 15 pounds)

Slope is rise over run or change in y over change in x.
First, fourth and fifth choice
L = Money that Leila has
R = Money that Reuben has
S = Money that Scott has
L = S - 5
R = 2S
L + R + S = 63
S - 5 + 2S + S = 63 [ substitute ]
4S - 5 = 63
4S = 68 [ add 5 both sides ]
S = 17
Scott has $17
L = 17 - 5 = 12
Leila has $12
R = 2(17) = 34
Reuben has $34
