Question

Following are the math problems related to memory card capacity and inequalities?

A. The memory card holds 65,536 kilobytes. If each picture is about 760 kilobytes, about how many more pictures can they take?

B. Write an inequality to compare the number of pictures taken during school to the number of pictures taken after school.

C. Explain the meaning of the inequality."

Answer 1

The memory card can hold 86 additional pictures. The inequality x < y means that more pictures are taken after school compared to during school.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. To find out how many more pictures can be taken on the memory card, we need to divide the capacity of the memory card by the size of each picture. The memory card holds 65,536 kilobytes and each picture is about 760 kilobytes. Therefore, the number of additional pictures that can be taken is 65,536 / 760 = 86.21, which rounds down to 86 pictures.

B. An inequality to compare the number of pictures taken during school (let's call it x) to the number of pictures taken after school (let's call it y) can be written as x < y.

C. The inequality x < y means that the number of pictures taken during school is less than the number of pictures taken after school. It indicates that more pictures are taken after school compared to during school.
