Lincoln middle school plans to collect more than 2,000 cans of food in a food drive. so far, 668 cans have been collected. write an inequality to find numbers of cans the school can collect on each of the final 7 days of the drive to meet this goal. identify what your variable represnts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lincoln middle school plans to collect more than 2,000 cans of food

They have already collected 668 cans

To Find:  WRITE AN INEQUALITY to find numbers of cans the school can collect on each of the final 7 days of the drive to meet this goal.

Solution :

Let x be the number of cans collected on each day.

Cans collected on 7 days = 7x

Since they already collected 668 cans

So they have total cans = 7x+668

We are given that they are required to collect more than 2000 cans

⇒

Thus this is the required inequality to find the numbers of cans collect on each final 7 days of drive

Now,

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

Thus they require to collect more than approx. 191 cans each day

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
