Samantha works at an animal shelter. she decides to track the total number of kittens that are brought in. the equation k=4w+3 represents the total number of kittens, where w represents the number of weeks that have passed since she started counting.
which statement correctly analyzes the domain of this situation?
a. the domain represents the weeks that have passed since samantha started counting the kittens. the domain is all real numbers.
b. the domain represents the weeks that have passed since samantha started counting the kittens. the domain is all whole numbers.
c. the domain represents the total number of kittens that have come into the shelter. the domain is all whole numbers.
d. the domain represents the total number of kittens that came into the shelter. the domain is all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation k=4w+3 represents the total number of kittens, where represents the number of weeks that have passed since Samantha started counting.

This means options C and D are false, because they say the total number of kittens that have come into the shelter.

represents the number of weeks, weeks can be counted 0 weeks, first week, second week and so on, so option B is true (the domain is all whole numbers) because 0, 1, 2, 3, ... are whole numbers.

Number of weeks can't be a negative number. Since "real numbers" include negatives, therefore, we exclude option A.

step-by-step explanation: convert 5\frac{11}{12}5

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{5\times 12+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5×12+11

2 simplify 5\times 125×12 to 6060

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{60+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

60+11

3 simplify 60+1160+11 to 7171

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

4 simplify \frac{5}{6}x

x to \frac{5x}{6}

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5 convert 1\frac{1}{3}1

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+\frac{1\times 3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

1×3+1

6 simplify 1\times 31×3 to 33

3.25+0.5x+\frac{3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

3+1

7 simplify 3+13+1 to 44

3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

8 simplify 3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}3.25+0.5x+

to \frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}

13.75

\frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}

13.75

9 simplify \frac{13.75}{3}

13.75

to 4.5833334.583333

4.583333+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}4.583333+

10 subtract 4.5833334.583333 from both sides

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333

11 simplify \frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333 to \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

12 multiply both sides by 33

4x=\frac{4}{3}\times 34x=

×3

13 simplify \frac{4}{3}\times 3

×3 to \frac{12}{3}

4x=\frac{12}{3}4x=

14 simplify \frac{12}{3}

to 44

4x=44x=4

15 divide both sides by 44

x=1

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max. it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to. the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max. therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost. it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults. same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed. the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y. since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200
