You are making a welding fixture and must cut down a length of copper tubbing from 15 1/8 inches to 8 3/4 inches. If the leftover piece is long enough, you will use it in another fixture . How long will the leftover piece be ? 23 and 7/8 1 and 51/70 7 and 1/8 6 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Original length = inches

inches                      ( In improper fraction )

Length of piece cut from original = inches

inches                 ( In improper fraction )

Length of piece leftover piece =  (Original length ) - (Length of piece cut )

Hence, the leftover piece will be  long.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
