5/36 yard. 5/6 and multiply by the reciprocal of 6, 1/6.
The given inequality is 2.5x + 4y ≤ 60. x is the bags of chips and y is the jars of salsa,
Replace x and y in the equation with the possible answers and solve:
A) 10 chips and 2 salsas:
2.5(10) +4(2) = 25 + 8 = 32 This is less than 60 so is a solution.
B) 20 chips, 2 salsas:
2.5(20) + 4(2) = 50 + 8 = 58, this is less than 60 so is a solution.
C) 14 chips, 5 salsas:
2.5(14) + 4(5) = 35 + 20 = 55, this is less than 60 so is a solution.
D) 18 chips , 6 salsas:
2.5(18) + 4(6) = 45 + 24 = 69, this is greater than 60 so is not a solution.
18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa is not a solution.
Making a table helps compare two or more sets of data because you can see how much it has increased or decreased.
