The green family is a family of six people. they have used 4,885.78 gallons of water so far this month. they cannot exceed 9,750.05 gallons per month during drought season. write an inequality to show how much water just one member of the family can use for the remainder of the month, assuming each family member uses the same amount of water every month.

Choosing a booth location: your manager is sending two people to work at the conference. she wants a booth that will give your company good visibility for no more than 35% of the total budget ($3000). the conference coordinator just told you there are only five booths left. which booth will you choose? write the inequality that shows how much money you can spend on the booth simplify the inequality that shows how much money you can spend on the booth.

The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the amount present initially. the mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance cobalt-60 present in a sample at time t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. how does the exponential equation above compare to the equation for simple interest that is compounded continuously? explain the similarities. 2. what is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample? 2. how much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? show your work. 3. what would be the y-intercept of the graph? what does it represent? 4. after how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25 mg? explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years? 5. discuss some “real-world” examples and uses of cobalt-60
