Ellis runs around a track at a constant speed.

  • The distance around the track is 1/4 mile.
  • It takes Ellis 3.2 minutes to run around the track once.

What is the total amount of time, in minutes, it takes Ellis to run one mile? Show or explain how you got your answer.

12.8 minutes per mile

3.2 minutes

1/4 miles


If you divide, you get 12.8 minutes for every mile.

Mikaila is saving money to purchase a laptop computer. She already has saved $150 in her savings account. Next week Mikaila will begin a tutoring job that pays $10 per hour. All the money she earns tutoring will be added to her savings account. 

The least expensive laptop that Mikaila is considering purchasing costs $550, including tax.

Write and solve an inequality to determine the minimum number of hours Mikaila needs to tutor to have enough money in her savings account to purchase a laptop that costs $550 or more. Show or explain how you got your answer.

y > 10x + 150

Inequality: 550 > 10x + 150

Solving: 550 > 10x + 150

             400 > 10x

              40 > x

She needs to work at least 40 hours to afford the laptop.

Ellis runs around a track at a constant speed.

  • The distance around the track is 1/4 mile.
  • It takes Ellis 3.2 minutes to run around the track once.

Ellis will run for 40 minutes every day for 5 days, with a goal of running a total of 15 miles. Will Ellis meet this goal? Explain your reasoning.

Yes, he will have run 15.625 miles in total over the 5 days.

You can build a proportion:

3.2 min = 200 min

1/4 mil       ?  mil

You cross multiply and get: 3.2 (?) = 200 * 1/4

3.2x = 50

x = 15.625

Mikaila is saving money to purchase a laptop computer. She already has saved $150 in her savings account. Next week Mikaila will begin a tutoring job that pays $10 per hour. All the money she earns tutoring will be added to her savings account.

The most expensive laptop that Mikaila is considering purchasing costs $1,150, including tax.

Write and solve a compound inequality to determine the number of hours Mikaila needs to tutor to have enough money in her savings account to purchase a laptop that costs at least $550 but not more than $1,150. Show or explain how you got your answer.

Enter your answer and your work or explanation in the space provided.

 

y > 10x + 150

Compound Inequality: 550 < 10x + 150 < 1150

Solving:   550 < 10x + 150 < 1150

               400 < 10x < 1000

               40 < x < 100

She needs to work between 40 and 100 hours to afford a laptop at least $550 but not more than $1150.
