Answer:
Let x represent sum of money Gary have. According to data from the table and informations from task, we have the following inequality:
\(\frac{x}{0.50}\) ≤ 0.50
In order to solve this inequality, we need to multiply both sides by 0.50 and get:
0.50(\(\frac{x}{0.50}\)) ≤ 5.5 ∙ 0.50
x ≤ 2.75
So, conclusion is that Gary has at most 2.75.

Question 21.
Florence wants to spend no more than $3 on onions. Will she be able to buy 2.5 pounds of onions? Explain.
Answer:
Let x represent the amount of onions Florence can buy.
According to the table and informations, we get following inequality:

In order to soLve this inequality, we need to divide both sides by 1.25 and get:
\(\frac{1.25 x}{1.25} \leq \frac{3}{1.25}\)
x ≤ 2.4
So, she can buy at most 2.4 pounds of onions. Conclusion is she can not buy 2.5 pounds of onions.

Question 22.
The produce buyer for a local restaurant wants to buy more than 30 lb of onions. The produce buyer at a local hotel buys exactly 12 pounds of spinach. Who spends more at the produce stand? Explain.
Answer:
Let x represent the sum of money the produce buyer for a local restaurant will spend for buying onions. So, we have the following inequality :
\(\frac{x}{1.25}\) > 30
In order to solve this inequality, we need to multiply both sides by 1.25 and get:
1.25(\(\frac{x}{1.25}\)) > 30 ∙ 1.25
x > 37.5
So, the produce buyer will spend more that $ 37.5 to by more than 30 lb of onions.
Now, let y represent sum of money the produce buyer for a local hotel will spend for buying exactly 12 pounds of spinach. We have the following equation we need to solve:
y ÷ 3 = 12
y = 12.3
y = 36
So, we can notice that the produce buyer will spend exactly $36 to buy 12 pounds of spinach.
Conclusion is that the produce buyer for a local restaurant will spend more money than the produce buyer for a local hotel.

Question 25.
Persevere in Problem Solving A rectangular prism has a length of 13 inches and a width of \(\frac{1}{2}\) inch. The volume of the prism is at most 65 cubic inches. Find all possible heights of the prism. Show your work.
Answer:
First, we will calculate the area of basis of this rectangular prism multiplying the length by the width and get:
B = 13 ∙ \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{13}{2}\)
So, the area of bassis of rectangular prism is \(\frac{13}{2}\) square inches. Formula for calculating the volume is:
V = B ∙ H
Where V is the volume, B is the area of basis and H is its height.
According to all informations in the task, we have the following inequality we need to solve to find all possible heights of prism, where x represent height:
\(\frac{13}{2}\)x ≤ 65
We need to multiply both sides by \(\frac{2}{13}\) and get:
\(\frac{2}{13} \cdot \frac{13}{2} x \leq \frac{65}{1} \cdot \frac{2}{13}\)
x ≤ 10
So, the height of the prism can be at most 10 inches.
