Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter. Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15 blanket per day. She has 60 days until when she wants to donate the blankets, but she also wants to skip crocheting some days so she can volunteer in other ways. Write an inequality to determine the number of days, s, Darcie can skip crocheting and still meet her goal.

Since Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets and she crochets at a rate of 1/5 blanket per day, we can determine how many days she will need to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets following the next steps:

- Finding the number of days needed to crochet one (1) blanket:

\begin{gathered}1=\frac{1}{5}Crochet(Day)\\Crochet(Day)=5*1=5\end{gathered}

1=

5

1

Crochet(Day)

Crochet(Day)=5∗1=5

So, she can crochet 1 blanket every 5 days.

- Finding the number of days needed to crochet three (3) blankets:

If she needs 5 days to crochet 1 blanket, to crochet 3 blankets she will need 15 days because:

\begin{gathered}DaysNeeded=\frac{NumberOfBlankets}{Rate}DaysNeeded=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{5}}=3*5=15\end{gathered}

DaysNeeded=

DaysNeeded=

=3∗5=15

- Writing the inequality

If she has 60 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets but she can complete it in 15 days, she can skip crocheting 45 days because:

AvailableDays=60-=60−RequiredDays

AvailableDays=60-15=45DaysAvailableDays=60−15=45Days

So, the inequality will be:

s\leq 45s≤45

The inequality means that she can skip crocheting a maximum of 45 days since she needs 15 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets.

Have a nice day!

fahrenheit

step-by-step explanation:

fahrenheit is more precise than celsius. the ambient temperature on most of the inhabited world ranges from -20 degrees fahrenheit to 110 degrees fahrenheit—a 130-degree range. on the celsius scale, that range is from -28.8 degrees to 43.3 degrees—a 72.1-degree range. this means that you can get a more exact measurement of the air temperature using fahrenheit because it uses almost twice the scale.
