Question

Angel’s pet cat consumes between 460 and 570 calories per day. Cat food is 130 calories per serving, and his cat has two servings a day. Each treat is 10 calories per serving, how many cat treats can the cat eat?

Write an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of treats her cat can have.

Answer 1

between 46 and 57 teats

Explanation:

okay so we know that there is 10 calories in each treat and the cat consumes between 460 and 570 calories a day.

Inequality 10x
`\leq` 570

`(10x)/(10) \leq (570)/(10)`

x
`\leq` 57

10x
`\geq` 460

`(10x)/(10) \geq (460)/(10)`

x
`\geq` 46

So the cat can consume between 46 and 57 treats.

Answer 2

Answer: 20 - 31 treats

Explanation:

130 x 2 = 260

460 - 260 = 200

200 / 10 = 20

570 - 260 = 310

310 / 10 = 31
