Question

There is a fisherman that sells fish smaller than 12 inches in length for $3.00, anything that is 12 inches or longer is $6.00 in price. His local fishing laws will not let him catch fish smaller than 6 inches.a. Write the inequalities for the size of $3.00 fish that he can sell.

Let x be the length of a fish he sells

 If you only had $4.50 with you, what is the largest fish you could buy from the fisherman? Explain how you know this.

Answer 1

Since the fish costs $3.00, he can only afford a fish smaller than 12 inches. And the law states that the fish cannot be smaller than 6 inches. Let x represent the length of the fish in inches:

6 <= x < 12 is the inequality.

The largest fish you can sell for $4.50 would be close to but not equal to 12, 11.99999...... repeating decimal.

Hope this helps!
