Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 33 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter Darcie crochets at a rate of 1 15 15

Answer :

Answer:

(60 - s)(1/15) ≥ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Her rate is 1/15 blanket per day.

In 60 days, she crochets 60 × 1/15 blankets.

If she skips s days of crocheting, she will crochet for 60 - s days.

She must crochet 3 or more blankets.

(60 - s)(1/15) ≥ 3

60 - s ≥ 45

-s ≥ -15

s ≤ 15

Solution: closed circle on 15 and shade to teh left.

Darcie can skip crocheting for a maximum of 59 days and still meet her goal of crocheting a minimum of 333 blankets for donation.

Inequality to determine the number of days, ss, Darcie can skip crocheting and still meet her goal.

We can use the following inequality:

115151/15 * (60 - ss) ≥ 333

Simplifying the inequality further, we have:

7676(60 - ss) ≥ 333

459360 - 7676ss ≥ 333

-7676ss ≥ 333 - 459360

-7676ss ≥ -459027

Dividing both sides of the inequality by -7676 (and reversing the inequality sign):

ss ≤ -459027 / -7676

ss ≤ 59.8

Therefore, Darcie can skip crocheting for a maximum of 59 days (rounded down to the nearest whole number) and still meet her goal of crocheting a minimum of 333 blankets for donation.
