a student needs 3 pieces of wire for a science project. the second piece must be 3 times as long as the first. the third piece must be twice as long as the second. the student has 350 inches of wire to make the three pieces. let x be the length of the first wire.
a.) write an *inequality* that models the situation.
b.) what are the possible lengths of the shortest piece of wire?

Part a) The inequality that represent the situation is

Part b) The possible lengths of the shortest piece of wire are all positive real numbers less than or equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the length of the first wire

3x---> the length of the second wire

2(3x)=6x -----> the length of the third wire

Part a) WRITE AN *INEQUALITY* THAT MODELS THE SITUATION

we know that

The inequality that represent the situation is

Part b) WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE LENGTHS OF THE SHORTEST PIECE OF WIRE?

we know that

The shortest piece of wire is the first wire

so

Solve the inequality

The possible lengths of the shortest piece of wire are all positive real numbers less than or equal to

here is your mark brainliest

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
