Akiller whale has eaten 75 pounds of fish today. it needs to eat at least 140 pounds of fish each day.
a. a bucket holds 15 pounds of fish. write and solve an inequality that represents how many more buckets of fish the whale needs to eat.
b. should the whale eat four or five more buckets of fish? explain.

a) x ≥ 4.33

b) The killer whale should eat four or five more buckets of fish because eating it will give the required amount of fishes the killer whale is required to eat per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The killer whale has taken 75 pounds of fish.

It needs to eat at least 140 pounds of fish per day. This means that the whale has at least (140 – 65)= 65 pounds of fish to eat for that day.

a) you Let the count of bucket = x

Each bucket holds 15 pounds of fish

Quantity of 1 bucket * count of bucket = what is remaining for the fish to eat

15x = 65

x = 65/15

x= 4.33

x= 4.33 buckets

At least 4.33 buckets means greater than or equal to 4.33 buckets.

Therefore the count of the bucket is

x ≥ 4.33

b) The killer whale should eat four or five more buckets of fish because eating it will give the required amount of fishes the killer whale is required to eat per day.

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.
