Elizabeth has 8 ounces of chopped vegetables in a mixing bowl. She needs to have a minimum of 50 ounces for a party-sized salad recipe. The measuring cup Elizabeth uses holds 3 ounces. Write an inequality that can be used to find the number of times, x, that Elizabeth should fill the measuring cup with chopped vegetables in order to follow the recipe. Solve the inequality, and graph the solution set in the space below. Show your work.

the inequality is 50 = 3x -8 because Elizabeth needs 50 ounces but she already has 8 ounces, so you would have to subtract 8 from 50 first. Then to would have to see how many times 3 can fit in the difference

Visual explanation

50 = 3x - 8

take 8 from both sides

42 = 3x

divide 3 from both sides

14 = x

She needs at least 14 cups of chopped vegetables

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
