Final answer:

The domain of the number of rides at the peach festival, where the tickets cost $0.50 each, is 'all non-negative whole numbers' and can be represented as the inequality x ≥ 0. The range depends on the total amount of money available but is also non-negative whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question revolves around the concept of domain and range in the context of how many rides Neville and his friends can go on at a local peach festival, given that each ride costs $0.50. Since we are examining a real-world scenario, the domain and range will be limited to feasible numbers.

To determine the domain, we consider the possible number of tickets that can be purchased. The domain will be all non-negative integers since Neville and his friends cannot purchase a negative number of tickets and purchasing a fraction of a ticket is not possible. Thus, the domain in words is 'all non-negative whole numbers,' and in inequality form, it is x ≥ 0, where x represents the number of tickets.

For the range, we would need to know the amount of money they have in total, but since this is not provided, we can only say in general terms that the range for the number of rides will also be all non-negative integers, as it ultimately depends on how much money they have.
