Answer:
3. See attachment.
Explanation:
Given information:
- You have $25 and you want to buy some baseballs that cost $4 each.
- Let x be the number of baseballs that you could buy.
Question 1
If the baseballs cost $4 each and x is the number of baseballs, then 4x represents the total cost of the baseballs.
The maximum amount of money available to spend on the baseballs is $25.
Therefore, the inequality to represent this is:
Question 2
Solve the inequality by dividing both sides by 4:
Note: As x represents the number of baseballs you can buy, and as you cannot buy part of a baseball or negative baseballs, the real solution is 0 ≤ x ≤ 6.
Question 3
To graph x ≤ 6.25 on a number line:
- As the value of x is included in the interval, draw a closed circle at 6.25.
- As the value of x is equal to or less than 6.25, draw a line to the left of the closed circle and place an arrow on its left endpoint.
To graph 0 ≤ x ≤ 6 on a number line:
- Place a closed circle at 0 and 6.
- Draw a line connecting the closed circles.
