Li wants to add these items to her suitcase: a hairdryer (1.25 lb), a hand-held video game (0.6 lb), an extra video game (0.25 lb), and a music player (0.4 lb). Using the inequality x Less than or equal to 2.25, can she add all these items to the suitcase? If not, what could be left out to be closest to the maximum weight allowed? Explain.

She will leave an extra video game which weighs 0.25lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Li wants to add these items to her suitcase: a hairdryer (1.25 lb), a hand-held video game (0.6 lb), an extra video game (0.25 lb), and a music player (0.4 lb). Using the inequality x ≤ 2.25, can she add all these items to the suitcase? If not, what could be left out to be closest to the maximum weight allowed?

Solution:

Weight of the items

hairdryer = 1.25 lb

hand-held video game = 0.6 lb

an extra video game = 0.25 lb music player = 0.4 lb

The total weight of the items

= 1.25lb + 0.25lb + 0.6lb + 0.4lb

= 2.5 lb.

Total weight - required weight

= 2.5lb - 2.25lb

= 0.25lb

2.5lb is 0.25lb greater than 2.25lb

Therefore, not all items can be added.

She has to leave out an item equivalent to 0.25lb

Item equivalent to 0.25lb is the extra video game

If Li leaves out the extra game, which weighs 0.25 lb, she’d have the maximum weight allowed.

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.
