Answer:

0.5 pounds of butter.

Explanation

X pounds for 0.25 gallons.

0.5 gallon of cream - 1 pound of butter

0.25 gallons of cream - X pounds of butter

Applying cross multiplication:

0.5X = 0.25

X = 0.25 over 0.5 or 0.25/0.5

X = 0.5

Therefor, you could make 0.5 pounds of butter with 0.25 gallons of cream.

Solve the inequality.<br> 3x+6<3(x-7)

GarryVolchara [31]

<h3> $\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{3x+6 < 3(x-7) } \end{gathered}$} }$ </h3>

Simplify both sides of the inequality.

$\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{3x+6 < 3x-21 } \end{gathered}$} }$

Subtract 3x from both sides.

<h3> $\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{3x+6-3x < 3x-21-3x } \end{gathered}$} }$ </h3><h3> $\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{6 < -21 } \end{gathered}$} }$ </h3>

Subtract 6 from both sides.
