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 represent the number of people at the get-together, the number of cups of water, the number of scoops of lemonade powder. Select all the mathematical statements that represent the quantities and constraints in the situation.
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?
Han wants to build a dog house. He makes a list of the materials needed:
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 contraints in this situation. Be sure to specify what your variables represent.
