Lesson 17: Practice Problems
Problem 1
Tyler goes to the store. His budget is $125. Which inequality represents
Problem 2
Jada is making lemonade for a get-together with her friends. She expects a total of 5 to 8 people to be there (including herself). She plans to prepare 2 cups of lemonade for each person.
The lemonade recipe calls for 4 scoops of lemonade powder for each quart of water. Each quart is equivalent to 4 cups.
Let
Select all the mathematical statements that represent the quantities and constraints in the situation.
Problem 3
A doctor sees between 7 and 12 patients each day. On Mondays and Tuesdays, the appointment times are 15 minutes. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, they are 30 minutes. On Fridays, they are one hour long. The doctor works for no more than 8 hours a day.
Here are some inequalities that represent this situation.
What does each variable represent?
What does the expression
in the last inequality mean in this situation?
Problem 4
Han wants to build a dog house. He makes a list of the materials needed:
At least 60 square feet of plywood for the surfaces
At least 36 feet of wood planks for the frame of the dog house
Between 1 and 2 quarts of paint
Han’s budget is $65. Plywood costs $0.70 per square foot, planks of wood cost $0.10 per foot, and paint costs $8 per quart.
Write inequalities to represent the material constraints and cost constraints in this situation. Be sure to specify what your variables represent.
