At the farmers' market, Lillian bought 5/12 of a pound of string beans and 1/12 of a pound of lima beans. How many more pounds of string beans did Lillian purchase? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

1/3 more pounds of string beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of string beans: 5/12 of a lbs(pound)

Amount of lima beans: 1/12 of a lbs

Amount of string beans - Amount of lima beans = 5/12-1/12 =4/12 which simplifies down to 1/3.

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is

b
