Cassie needs at least $140 to buy a graphing calculator for math class. Currently she has $30 saved and her neighbor tells her s
he can babysit and earn $10 an hour. What is the minimum number of hours Cassie will need to babysit in order to have enough money to buy the calculator? The equation needs to have a inequality not a equal sign. Please help
Step-by-step explanation: Currently Cassie has $30, so that is the fixed amount of money she has. She needs $140 dollars, so this will be on the left side of your inequality with a "greater than symbol". Cassie can earn $10 an hour, use the variable "h" to represent the number of hours she will work. Set your inequality like this:
$30 + $10h > $140.
The reason why we use a "greater than" sign (>) is that the amount of money Cassie earns needs to be greater than the price of the calculator to be able to buy it.
C. 8 23/24 One way you can solve this is by dividing 14 1/3 by 8, because it is the denominator of 5/8, then multiplying the quotient by 5, because it is the numerator of 5/8.
