Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 15 Example Answer Key<\/h3>\n

Example
\nA local car dealership is trying to sell all of the cars that are on the lot. Currently, there are 525 cars on the lot, and the general manager estimates that they will consistently sell 50 cars per week. Estimate how many weeks it will take for the number of cars on the lot to be less than 75.
\nWrite an inequality that can be used to find the number of full weeks, w, it will take for the number of cars to be less than 75. Since w is the number of full or complete weeks, w = 1 means at the end of week 1.
\nAnswer:
\n525 – 50w < 75<\/p>\n

Solve and graph the inequality.
\nAnswer:
\n525 – 50w < 75
\n– 50w + 525 – 525 < 75 – 525
\n– 50w + 0 < – 450 ( – \\(\\frac{1}{50}\\))( – 50w) > ( – \\(\\frac{1}{50}\\))( – 450)
\nw > 9
\n\"Engage<\/p>\n

Interpret the solution in the context of the problem.
\nAnswer:
\nThe dealership can sell 50 cars per week for more than 9 weeks to have less than 75 cars remaining on the lot.<\/p>\n

Verify the solution.
\nAnswer:
\nw = 9:
\n525 – 50w < 75
\n525 – 50(9) < 75
\n525 – 450 < 75
\n75 < 75
\nFalse<\/p>\n

w = 10:
\n525 – 50w < 75
\n525 – 50(10) < 75
\n525 – 500 < 75
\n25 < 75
\nTrue<\/p>\n

Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 15 Exercise Answer Key<\/h3>\n

Exercise 1.
\nTwo identical cars need to fit into a small garage. The opening is 23 feet 6 inches wide, and there must be at least 3 feet 6 inches of clearance between the cars and between the edges of the garage. How wide can the cars be?
\nAnswer:
\nEncourage students to begin by drawing a diagram to illustrate the problem. A sample diagram is as follows:
\n\"Engage
\nHave students try to find all of the widths that the cars could be. Challenge them to name one more width than the person next to them. While they name the widths, plot the widths on a number line at the front of the class to demonstrate the shading. Before plotting the widths, ask if the circle should be open or closed as a quick review of graphing inequalities. Ultimately, the graph should be
\n\"Engage
\n\u2192 Describe how to find the width of each car.
\nTo find the width of each car, I subtract the minimum amount of space needed on either side of each car and in between the cars from the total length. Altogether, the amount of space needed was 3(3.5 ft.) or 10.5 ft. Then, I divided the result, 23.5 – 10.5 = 13, by 2 since there were 2 cars. The answer would be no more than \\(\\frac{13}{2}\\) ft. or 6.5 ft.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Did you take an algebraic approach to finding the width of each car or an arithmetic approach? Explain.
\nAnswers will vary.<\/p>\n

\u2192 If arithmetic was used, ask, \u201cIf w is the width of one car, write an inequality that can be used to find all possible values of w.\u201d
\n2w + 10.5 \u2264 23.5<\/p>\n

\u2192 Why is an inequality used instead of an equation?
\nSince the minimum amount of space between the cars and each side of the garage is at least 3 feet 6 inches, which equals 3.5 ft., the space could be larger than 3 feet 6 inches. If so, then the width of the cars would be smaller. Since the width in between the cars and on the sides is not exactly 3 feet 6 inches, and it could be more, then there are many possible car widths. An inequality will give all possible car widths.<\/p>\n

\u2192 If an algebraic approach was used initially, ask, \u201cHow is the work shown in solving the inequality similar to the arithmetic approach?\u201d
\nThe steps to solving the inequality are the same as in an arithmetic approach. First, determine the total minimum amount of space needed by multiplying 3 by 3.5. Then, subtract 10.5 from the total of 23.5 and divide by 2.<\/p>\n

\u2192 What happens if the width of each car is less than 6.5 feet?
\nThe amount of space between the cars and on either side of the car and garage is more then 3 feet 6 inches.<\/p>\n

\u2192 What happens if the width of each car is exactly 6.5 feet?
\nThe amount of space between the cars and on either side of the car and garage is exactly 3 feet 6 inches.<\/p>\n

\u2192 What happens if the width of each car is more than 6.5 feet?
\nThe amount of space between the cars and on either side of the car and garage is less than 3 feet 6 inches.<\/p>\n

\u2192 How many possible car widths are there?
\nAny infinite number of possible widths.<\/p>\n

\u2192 What assumption is being made?
\nThe assumption made is that the width of the car is greater than 0 feet. The graph illustrates all possible values less than 6.5 feet, but in the context of the problem, we know that the width of the car must be greater than 0 feet.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Since we have determined there is an infinite amount, how can we illustrate this on a number line?
\nIllustrate by drawing a graph with a closed circle on 6.5 and an arrow drawn to the left.<\/p>\n

\u2192 What if 6.5 feet could not be a width, but all other possible measures less than 6.5 can be a possible width; how would the graph be different?
\nThe graph would have an open circle on 6.5 and an arrow drawn to the left.<\/p>\n

Exercise 2.
\nThe cost of renting a car is $25 per day plus a one – time fee of $75.50 for insurance. How many days can the car be rented if the total cost is to be no more than $525?
\na. Write an inequality to model the situation.
\nAnswer:
\nLet x represent the number of days the car is rented.
\n25x + 75.50 \u2264 525<\/p>\n

b. Solve and graph the inequality.
\nAnswer:
\n25x + 75.50 \u2264 525
\n25x + 75.50 – 75.50 \u2264 525 – 75.50

\nx \u2264 17.98
\n\"Engage<\/p>\n

c. Interpret the solution in the context of the problem.
\nAnswer:
\nThe car can be rented for 17 days or fewer and stay within the amount of $525. The number of days is an integer. The 18th day would put the cost over $525, and since the fee is charged per day, the solution set includes whole numbers.<\/p>\n

Exercise 3.
\nMrs. Smith decides to buy three sweaters and a pair of jeans. She has $120 in her wallet. If the price of the jeans is $35, what is the highest possible price of a sweater, if each sweater is the same price?
\nAnswer:
\nLet w represent the price of one sweater.
\n3w + 35 \u2264 120
\n3w + 35 – 35 \u2264 120 – 35
\n3w + 0 \u2264 85

\nOn a cruise ship, there are two options for an Internet connection. The first option is a fee of $5 plus an additional $0.25 per minute. The second option costs $50 for an unlimited number of minutes. For how many minutes, m, is the first option cheaper than the second option? Graph the solution.
\nAnswer:
\nLet m represent the number of minutes of Internet connection.
\n5 + 0.25m < 50
\n5 + 0.25m – 5 < 50 – 5
\n0.25m + 0 < 45
\n(\\(\\frac{1}{0.25}\\))(0.25m) < (\\(\\frac{1}{0.25}\\))(45)
\nm < 180
\nIf there are less than 180 minutes, or 3 hours, used on the Internet, then the first option would be cheaper. If 180 minutes or more are planned, then the second option is more economical.

Question 5.
\nThe length of a rectangle is 100 centimeters, and its perimeter is greater than 400 centimeters. Henry writes an inequality and graphs the solution below to find the width of the rectangle. Is he correct? If yes, write and solve the inequality to represent the problem and graph. If no, explain the error(s) Henry made.
\n\"Eureka
\nAnswer:
\nHenry\u2019s graph is incorrect. The inequality should be 2(100) + 2w > 400. When you solve the inequality, you get w > 100. The circle on 100 on the number line is correct; however, the circle should be an open circle since the perimeter is not equal to 400. Also, the arrow should be pointing in the opposite direction because the perimeter is greater than 400, which means the width is greater than 100. The given graph indicates an inequality of less than or equal to.<\/p>\n
