The fare for a taxi cab is $2.75 per passenger and $0.50 for each mile. A group of friends has $22.00 for cab fare. Write a linear inequality to represent how many miles, y, the group can travel if there are x people in
the group
The inequality is ?

2.75x+0.5y<22

Step-by-step explanation:

The price for the amount of friends would be 2.75 times the amount of people. Since we don't know that value, we use x.

The price for the distance would be 0.5  (which is equivalent to 0.50) times the amount of miles. Since we don't know that value, we use y.

We add the amount of friends and the distance amount together with an addition sign, and then we choose out inequality sign. The friends only have 22 dollars, so that is the max they can go. We put a line under the < because it can be equal to 22.  

I hope this helps!

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36
