Respuesta :
possible weights are 4 / 0.39 = 10.256 and 5/39 = 12.821
if x is the weight the inequality is
10.3 < x < 12.8 rounded to the nearest tenth
if x is the weight the inequality is
10.3 < x < 12.8 rounded to the nearest tenth
Answer:
10.26<w<12.82 represents the weight of the watermelon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Watermelon cost $0.39 per pound. Let the weight of Joseph's water melon be w pounds.
Joesph watermelon costs between $4.00 and $5.00.
[tex]\frac{4}{0.39}= 10.26[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{0.39}= 12.82[/tex]
Means the melons are between 10.26 and 12.82 pounds.
Hence, the compound inequality is 10.26<w<12.82 which represents the weight of watermelon.
