Please help me solve this:
On a fishing trip, you catch two fish. The weight of the first fish is shown. The second fish weighs at least 0.5 pound more than the first fish. Write an inequality that represents the possible weights w (in pounds) of the second fish.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The weight of second fish

[tex]w\leq0.5+x[/tex] pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given You catch two fishes

Let weight of I fish = x pound

If the weight of II fish atleast 0.5 pound more than  the weight of I fish

The weight of II fish=w pound

Therefore, [tex]w\leq x+0.5[/tex]

Where x= Weight of I fish

w= Weight of II fish

[tex]\leq[/tex]= Less than or equal to

"+" = Sign of addition

Because the weight of II fish is greater than the weight of I fish

The required expression for the weight of II fish

[tex]w\leq x+0.5[/tex] pound.

Weight of second fish [tex]W\geq 1.7[/tex] pounds

Given :

The weight of first fish is attached below

The second fish weighs at least 0.5 pound more than the first fish

Explanation :

Let 'W' be the weight of second fish

Weight of first fish is 1.2 pounds .

Weight of second fish is atleast 0.5 pound more . So we add 0.5 with 1.2

[tex]1.2+0.5= 1.7[/tex]

Question says atleast 0.5 pounds more

so weight of second fish should be more than or equal to 1.7

[tex]W\geq 1.7[/tex]
