Priya is making burgers for a party. She has 5 pounds of meat and uses 1/3 of a pound for one burger. How many burgers can priya make?

Priya can make 15 burgers with 5 pounds of meat

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

From Priya's receipe,

1 burger can be made from  1/3 of a pound of meat  

  How many burgers can be made from 5 pound of meat

Step 2 Using the equation below, that

1 burger = 1/3 pound of meat

Therefore 5 pounds of meat

5 x 1 / 1/3 = 5/(1/3)

= 5 x3 = 15 Burgers.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

in simplified version   it would be x ≤-4

step-by-step explanation:

multiply each term in x ≤-4 by -1
