Question

I need help! THIS IS NOT MULTIPLE CHOICE!!!! The time needed to roast a chicken depends on its weight. Allow at least 20 min/lb for a chicken weighing as much as 6 lb. Allow at least 15 min/lb for a chicken weighing more than 6 lb. a. Write two inequalities to represent the time needed to roast a chicken. b. Graph the inequalities.

Answer 1

What would you do if you ever needed to cook a chicken
if y is the time required to cook the bird and x is number of chicken lbs

y = 20x when x ≤ 6
y = 15x when x > 6

To Graph:
Have the y-axis (minutes) go by 5's since slopes of both equations are multiples of 5. The y-axis, I would suggest go to atleast 150 minutes for a 10 lbs chicken. The x-axis is in lbs and can go by 1 lb marks.

Start with the first equation where the chicken is smaller than or equal to 6 lbs. (0,0) (1,20), (2,40) (3, 60), (4,80), (5,100) to 6lbs (6,120). If the equation is EQUAL TO the point and the line will be SOLID.

for the second equation, the chicken is larger than 6 lbs. Start with x = 6 but the point will be OPEN and the line DASHED because it's NOT EQUAL TO. (6,90) (7,105) (8,120) (9,135), (10, 150) .... and on arrow to show this
