Alex is going to the carnival with his friends. his mom gave him $45 to spend, if admission to the fair was
$7, and each ride costs $1.50, write an inequality to show how many rides he can ride. what is the
maximum number of rides he can go on?
solution set:
max # of rides:

Maximum number of rides Alex can go is 23

Solution:

Given that Alex mom gave him $ 45 to spend

Admission to the fair was  $ 7, and each ride costs $1.50

From given question,

The amount of money spent on admission to the fair and on a number of rides which each cost $ 1.50, must be at most $ 45

"At most $ 45" means $ 45 exactly or less

Let "x" be the number of rides Alex takes up

This is the required inequality

To find the maximum number of possible rides, solve for  x

Thus maximum number of rides he can go is 23

means if you're already damaged some way when you take out a medical insurance you will not get full compensation for that injury that you already have.

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
