Let x=3.77777777...
10x=37.777777777...
9x=10x-x=34
9x=34 so x=34/9=3 7/9
3 1/2 pound = 7/2 pounds.
We know that the dog eats 7/2 (3.5) pounds every 21 days since there are 7 days in a week and Mr.Z only buys dog food every 3 weeks.
Set up a proportion. <u>3.5 lb</u> = <u> x </u><u>
</u> 21 days 365 days
<u>
</u>Cross multiply and divide. 3.5 lb x 365 days = 1277.5 / 21 days = 60.83 lb
<u>
</u>

Step-by-step explanation:
To graph linear inequalities, use the y=mx + b form to graph using the slope and y-intercept.
y ≤ -4x + 40 has slope -4 and y-intercept (0,40).
Start at (0,40) and mark it. Then move down 4 units and to the right 1. Mark this point at (1,36). Connect the points with a solid line since the inequality has equal to. Substitute a point like (0,0) to test where the solution set is.
0 ≤ -4(0) + 40
0 ≤ 0 + 40
0 ≤ 40
This is true so shade to the left of the line.
To graph y ≤ 10 mark a point on the y-axis at (0,10). Draw a horizontal solid line through the point. Then shade below the line.
