A local zoo has two large snakes. The anaconda is currently 5.23 meters long and grows 1.27 meters every month. The python is 4.76 meters long and grows 2.04 meters per month. How many months (m) does the zookeeper need to wait for the two snakes to be the same length?

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Anaconda:

Current length = 5.23metres

Growth rate = 1.27 metres per month

Python :

Current length = 4.76metres

Growth rate = 2.04metres per month

Number of months (m) in which both will be of the same length:

Anaconda = python

5.23 + 1.27m = 4.76 + 2.04m

Solve for m

5.23 - 4.76 = 2.04m - 1.27m

0.47 = 0.77m

0.47 / 0.77 = 0.77m / 0.77

0.610 = m

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
