You and three friends want to go to the county fair. You don't remember how much each ticket was, but you remember spending $100 in total. If you spent $40 combined on food, how much was each individual ticekt?
Write an equation for this situation.
$100 = $40 + 4m
$100 = $40 + 4m
m = $15
$10 plus one-fourth of what you have now more than it will cost to buy the shoes you want that cost $100.
Write an inequality to show the potential amounts of money you could have.
100 > (1/4)m + 10
100 > (1/4)m + 10
m > 360
You are in 7th grade. How many years has the average student in this class been in school?

You are putting new carpet in your bedroom. You remmeber that the area of your room is 132 sqft. If the length of one of the walls was 12 ft, how long was the other wall?
Write an equation for this situation
132 = 12w
or
132 = 12L
132 = 12w
w = 11 ft
a number increased by a factor of 5 decreased by 49 is less than 51
5n - 49 < 51
5n - 49 < 51
n < 20
Alaska is home to Mount Mckinley, the tallest mountain in the United States.
Which US state has the tallest mountain in the United States?
What is the name of that mountain?
Mount McKinley in Alaska
You are building a fence with a perimeter of 180 ft. If the length will be twice the width. What is the perimeter of the fence?
Write an equation for this situation
180 = w + w + 2w + 2w or
180 = 2(w) + 2(2w) or
180 = 6w
180 = 2(w) + 2(2w)
w = 30
Half of a negative number has a maximum of -4
-4 ≥ -n/2
-4 ≥ -n/2
n ≥ 8
DOUBLE OR NOTHING
