3 Two-Step Inequality Word Problems 93 POINTS

Problem 1: Joann can add 3 books or less.

The package weighs 9.5 ounces.

You can represent this in an inequality, where Joann wants the package to weigh less than or equal to 32 ounces:

, where B = the number of books she adds.

You can then simplify this equation:

Joann can add 3 books or less.

Problem 2: Kierra can get less than 12 questions wrong.

Kierra needs more than an 82 to make her goal.

You can represent this in an inequality, where Kierra can only get a certain amount of questions wrong:

, where Q = the questions Kierra gets wrong.

You can then simplify this equation:

Kierra can get 12 questions wrong to get an 82, but needs LESS than 12 wrong to get above an 82.

Problem 3: Hunter must walk 11.7 miles per day or more to finish.

Hunter is hiking 52 miles over 4 days, and wants to make sure they can finish the hike after walking 28.6 in 2 days.

You can represent this in an inequality, where Hunter wants to walk the remainder of the hike in 2 days:

, where M = the number of miles Hunter walks per day.  

You can then simplify this equation:

Hunter must walk 11.7 miles or more to finish the trail.

Problem 1

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
