Can you guys tell me the inequality for #3 and is my answer for #2 correct?
help will be appreciated. Thanks
#1:
$$\frac{1\ \text{Pound} }{\$ \ 3} * \$ \ 10 = \frac{10}{3}\ \text{pounds} = 3.33 \ \text{pounds}$$
#2:
$$\frac{\$ \ 0.50}{1\ \text{Pound} }* 5.5\ \text{pounds} = \$ 2.75 \quad \text{ Gary has \$ 2.75 }$$
#3:
$$\frac{1\ \text{Pound} }{\$ \ 1.25} * \$ \ 3 = 2.4 \ \text{pounds} \qquad \text{ She will no be able to buy 2.5 pounds of onions!}$$
Part 2: Gary has no more than $2.75 (because he can buy at most 5.5pounds of potatoes)
Part 3: 2.5 pounds of onions cost 2.5*$1.25 = $3.125, which is more than Florence wants to spend.
