Give a number answer and not a link Mr. Torres spent $40.00 to buy 18 pounds of ground beef and chicken for a family to cook out. If the price of ground beef was $4.00 per pound and the chicken was $2.00 per pound, how many pounds of each did he buy?

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
