Paul's mom sent him to the grocery store with $10 to buy bread and cheese for sandwiches. Paul picked out a loaf of bread that costs $3.25, and a deli cheese that costs $5.99 a pound. He would like to buy as much cheese as possible, so he asks the deli worker to see how much each slice weighs. Each slice weighs 0.04 pounds. Which inequality can be solved to find x, the number of slices that Paul can afford to buy?

Given:

Total amount = $10

Cost of loaf of bread = $3.25

Cost of cheese = $5.99 per pound

Each slice weights = 0.04 pounds.

To find:

The inequality for the number of slices that Paul can afford to buy.

Solution:

Let x be the number of slices that Paul can afford to buy.

Weight of on slice is 0.04 pounds. So, weight of x slices is 0.04x pound.

Cost of cheese = $5.99 per pound

So, total cost of cheese for x slices = $5.99 × 0.04x

Now, Paul has $10 to buy bread and cheese for sandwiches. Cost of loaf of bread is $3.25.

Divide both sides by 0.2396.

The maximum integer value of x is 28.

Therefore, the required inequity is and 28 number of slices Paul can afford to buy.

341

step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
