Answer 1

max of 7 hours

Explanation:

First, calculate the maximum amount they can spend on parking:

total budget - movie cost = parking budget

48 - 27 = 21

Therefore, they have a maximum of $21 to spend on parking.

We are told that parking costs $3 per hour. To calculate the number of hours they can park:

Parking budget ÷ cost of parking per hour = number of hrs parking

21 ÷ 3 = 7

Therefore, have enough money to purchase 7 hours of parking (in addition to spending $27 on the movie)

So they can spend a maximum of 7 hours in Kingsville

Answer 2

• Less than 7 hours

Explanation:

Let's set up inequality based on the given, considering x the number of hours the family can spend.

• 27 + 3x < 48

Solve for x:

• 3x < 48 - 27
• 3x < 21
• x < 7

The family can spend less than 7 hours
