Question

Chalene wants to cut her hair but is a little nervous. She decides to cut it off slowly so she can get used to it as it gets shorter. Right now, her is is 11.5 inches past her shoulders. She decides to cut an inch and a half off her hair every week. Write an expression to describe the length of her hair in relationship to her shoulders.

Answer 1

The length of Chalene's hair in relation to her shoulders can be described using the expression:

Length of hair = 11.5 - 1.5n,

where 'n' represents the number of weeks. Each week, Chalene cuts 1.5 inches off her hair.

Step-by-step explanation:

To describe the length of Chalene's hair in relation to her shoulders, we can use the expression:

Length of hair = 11.5 - 1.5n

where 'n' represents the number of weeks.

Each week, Chalene cuts 1.5 inches off her hair, so we subtract 1.5 from the previous length to get the new length.

For example, after 1 week, the length of her hair will be 11.5 - 1.5(1) = 10 inches past her shoulders.

Answer 2

her total hair length is 10.5 inches total
