Question

1.) in a litter of 7 kittens each kitten weighs less than 3.5 ounces find all of the possible values of the combined weights of the kittens

2.) To Cover a rectangular region of her yard penny needs atleast 170.5 square feet of sod the length of the region is 15.5 feet what are the possible widths of the region

Answer 1

Here's 1.)
-Use w to symbolize the weight of kittens. Given by the statement "each kitten weighs less than 3.5 ounces" we know that:-
1*w < 3.5
-You can multiply both sides of the inequality by 7 to determine the total weights: 7*(1*w) < 7*(3.5) 7*w < 24.5
-Since there are 7 kittens, the combined weight of the kittens is 7w, therefore the above expression could be read as "The combined weight of the kittens is less than 24.5 ounces"

Here's 2.)
Answer:
width = 170.5/15.5 = 11 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
area = 170.5 sq ft.
length = 15.5 ft.
width = 170.5/15.5 = 11 ft
