Math a food manufacturer specifies that every family size box of cereal should have a net weight of 25 oz with a tolerance of 1.2 oz write and solve an inequality that describes the acceptable net weight for the cereal in a family size box

23.8 oz ≤ x ≤ 26.2 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

A box underweight by 1.2 oz. would be acceptable, as would a box overweight by 1.2 oz, or a box whose weight is between these two.

Thus, 25 oz - 1.2 oz ≤ x ≤ 25 oz + 1.2 oz, or

           23.8 oz ≤ x ≤ 26.2 oz

If the net weight is 25 oz, and the tolerance is 1.2 oz, then the minimum weight is the net minus the tolerance, or 25 oz - 1.2 oz = 23.8 oz.

Similarly, the maximum weight will be the net plus the tolerance, or 25 oz + 1.2 oz = 26.2oz.

So the weight must be between 23,8 oz and 26.2 oz, and you can write this as : 23.8 oz < W < 26.2 oz. (where W is the weight of the box of cereal)

answer: ok

step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
