Question

you earn$7.25 per hour baby-sitting write and solve an inequality to find how many full hours you must work to earn atleast $200

Answer 1

with like how you did it please

Answer 2

7.25h >- 200

Answer 3

27.5

Answer 4

7.25 per hour or:
7.25/h

We want how many hours for AT LEAST 200
so:

\[\frac{7.25}{h} \ge 200\]
now it asks to solve it...

7.25/h >= 200
7.25 >= 200h
7.25/200 >= h
29/800 >= h
Or in decimal:
\[h \le 0.03625\]

Answer 5

That is totally ridiculous, agreene. Think about it. If you work less than or equal to .036 hours, you will earn $200?

Answer 6

Yeah, I didnt really think that through, eh?

Answer 7

@mertsj your right but how do you get that answer

Answer 8

I'd like to point out this question is worded incorrectly... and is generally stupid.

7.25h >= 200
h>= 200/7.25
h>= 27.586

Answer 9

I think i have already gave her the answer...

Answer 10

i copied word from word and doubled checked

Answer 11

u got it wrong tho i need bio help

Answer 12

I thought : if I work for $5 an hour in 2 hours I would make 10 dollars. In 3 hours I would make 15 dollars in 4 hours I would make 20 dollars. Then it dawned on me that if I want to know how much I make, I should multiply the hours I work by how much I make in an hour. In your problem, you didn't know how many hours you were working so I used the variable h for that. That's how I got 7.50h. Then the problem said you were going to make at least $200 which means you might make $200 or you might make more than $200.
So: you make 7.50h in h hours
you make more than or equal to 200
7.50h >-$200

Answer 13

I wasn't blaming you sugarpie, I just meant whoever wrote the question is obviously unaware of mathematical nomenclature.

Answer 14

When you say 7.25 per hour, that implies 7.25$/h or 7.25/h
And not that you worked 7.25 hours which is what they really meant.

Answer 15

ok thank you

Answer 16

sugarpie, don't pay any attention to agreene. The problem is a perfectly fine problem. He just doesn't understand it either.

Answer 17

alright lolcan you also help me with working with sets (i know u bet its easy but im in seventh grade taking a 9th grade course and i miissed that class and i have a test tomarrow)

Answer 18

@Mertsj I understand the problem. I just didn't really think it through in the way you did... I thought of it how it was written... once you pointed out my result made no sense in relation to the question asked... I looked what was wrong, and it was the question asking me to use quotients when it meant to state something rather different.

Answer 19

OK lets not overreact here just please someone help me with sets
