Write the solution to an inequality that describes all possible number of weeks for which her dog can be at a healthy weight

Answer 1

w ≥ 3

Explanation:

Weight of dog = 58pounds

Healthy weight ≤ 47

Average weight loss = 4.5 pounds per week

Write the solution to an inequality that describes all possible number of weeks for which her dog can be at a healthy weight

Minimum Weight loss required to be a healthy dog :

(58 - 47) pounds = 11 pounds

Weight loss per week = 4.5 pounds

Possible number of weeks for which dog can be a healthy dog :

Number of weeks ≥ (11 / 4.5)

Number of weeks(w) ≥ 2.44

Hence, number of weeks(w) ;

w ≥ 3
