Question

Brittney can spend no more than $15 for new fish in her aquarium.

a: let f be the number of fish she can buy. What inequality represents the problem?
B: How many fish can Brittney buy?
Note: each fish costs $3.00 each

Answer 1

Explanation:

3.00 = cost of each fish

15 = most she can spend

f = number of fish she can buy

Inequality:

3f ≤ 15

B. How many fish can she buy:

3f ≤ 15

divide each side by 3

3f/3 ≤ 15/3

f ≤ 5
