Question

Jessica has $32 to buy movie tickets for herself and her friends that cost $5 each. The inequality 32≥5t represents the number of tickets t she could buy. What is the greatest number of tickets Jessica can buy?

Answer 1

6 tickets (t)

Explanation:

32/$5=6 2/5 so 6 tickets (t)

Answer 2

To find the greatest number of tickets Jessica can buy, we can solve the inequality for t.

First, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5:

32/5 ≥ t

Then, we can simplify by dividing 32 by 5:

6.4 ≥ t

The result tells us that t, the number of tickets, must be less than or equal to 6.4

Since t represents the number of tickets, it must be a whole number, so the greatest number of tickets Jessica can buy is 6.
