Ike has a paper route. when he carries the sunday paper his backpack is very heavy and ike ends up with very sore shoulders. ike decided that he would not put more than 20 pounds in his backpack. if each paper weighs 1/3 of a pound, how many papers can he carry in his backpack

If Ike does not want more than 20 pounds in his backpack, this means he wants less than or equal to 20 pounds in his backpack. Because each paper costs 1/3 pound, this can be used as the rate of change and we can set up the following inequality:

1/3x < 20

To solve this inequality, we should divide both sides of the equation by 1/3.

x < 60

Because this inequality means that x is less than or equal to 60, the answer is that Ike can carry 60 papers in his backpack.

Hope this helps!

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
