Question

Can someone solve this for me plz

Answer 1

11. Answer: cats = $7.33 or less, dogs = $11 or less

Explanation:

Let c represent cats and d represent dogs, then

3c + 2d ≤ $22

If he spends $0 on the dogs, then 3c ≤ $22 ⇒
`c\leq (22)/(3)` ⇒ c ≤ $7.33

If he spends $0 on the cats, then 2d ≤ $22 ⇒
`d\leq (22)/(2)` ⇒ d ≤ $11

Therefore, he can spend a maximum of $7.33 on each cat and a maximum of $11 on each dog.

12. Answer:
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

2 pounds of trail mix divided by 5 friends

= 2 pounds trail mix ÷ 5 friends

`= \frac{2\text{ pounds trail mix}}{5\text{ friends}}`

`= (2)/(5) \text{ pounds trail mix per friend}`
