Afactory produces 5−packs of pencils. to be within the weight specifications, a pack of 5 pencils should weigh between 60 grams and 95 grams. each package has a mass of 15 grams. enter a compound inequality to represent the mass of a single pencil in a pack. can each pencil have a mass of 10.5 grams?

The compound inequality will be:  , where is the mass of a single pencil and each pencil can have a mass of 10.5 grams.

Explanation

Suppose, the mass of a single pencil in the pack is   gram.

So, the total mass of 5 pencils will be:   grams.

Each package has a mass of 15 grams. So, the total weight of the pack of 5 pencils grams.

To be within the weight specifications, a pack of 5 pencils should weigh between 60 grams and 95 grams. So, the compound inequality will be..........

So, the compound inequality to represent the mass of a single pencil in a pack will be:  , where is the mass of a single pencil.
