Grace has 1.35 pounds of strawberries, 1.4 pounds of bananas, and some apples. She has more pounds of apples than pounds of strawberries, but fewer pounds of apples than pounds of bananas.

How many pounds of apples could Grace have? Explain the strategy you used.

Answer :

Grace could have weighed 1.36 pounds, 1.37 pounds, 1.38 pounds, or 1.39 pounds of apples.

Let a be the number of pounds of apples.

We are told that Grace has 1.35 pounds of strawberries. It has more kilograms of apples than kilograms of strawberries.

This means that a is greater than 1.35. We can represent this information as an inequality as follows:

We were also told that Grace had 1.4 pounds of bananas. It has fewer kilograms of apples than kilograms of bananas. This means that a is less than 1.4. We can represent this information as an inequality:

Combining the two inequalities we get:

Therefore, Grace can be 1.36 lbs., 1.37 lbs., 1.38 lbs., or 1.39 kilos of apples.
