Sorry its long:

a. Write and graph an inequality for the amounts of each cereal she can buy.
b. How many pounds of granola can she buy if she buys 1.5 pounds of muesli?

Answer 2

I know its 2.29x + 3.75y but know the sign.

Answer 3

*dont know the sign

Answer 4

a.
2.29x+3.75y=7
b.
2.29x+3.75*1.5=7
2.29x+5.625=7
-5.625 -5.625
2.29x=1.375
divide both sides by 2.29
x=0.6
