Li wants to add these items to her suitcase: a hairdryer (1.25 lb), a hand-held video game (0.6 lb), an extra video game (0.25 lb), and a music player (0.4 lb). Using the inequality x Less than or equal to 2.25, can she add all these items to the suitcase? If not, what could be left out to be closest to the maximum weight allowed? Explain.

simsharrison:

Well, add all those numbers together and if you get < or equal to 2.25. Then she can @jhonyy9 ?

jhonyy9:

add these 1,25 +0,6 +0,25 +0,4 = ?

jhonyy9:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @simsharrison Well, add all those numbers together and if you get < or equal to 2.25. Then she can @jhonyy9 ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) good - correct idea !!!

simsharrison:

That's what I was thinking, but if you add 1.25 + 0.6 = 1.31? 0r would it be adding 0.60 so it would be 1.85?

jhonyy9:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 add these 1,25 +0,6 +0,25 +0,4 = ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) these all 1,85 +0,65 = 2,50

simsharrison:

@wyattneedham

jhonyy9:

so this is more than 2,25 yes ? and now you need check what can be left out

jhonyy9:

in this way : what could be left out to be closest to the maximum weight allowed?

simsharrison:
