One line of text on a page uses about 4/15 of an inch. There are 0.5-inch margins at the top and bottom of a page. Write and solve an inequality to find the number of lines that can be typed on a page that is 17 inches long.

Respuesta :

Answer:

60 lines can be typed in the page

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the page  = 17 inches

Length of the margin = 0.5-inch

length of one line  = 4/15

To Find:

The number of lines that can be typed on a page

Solution:

Let the number of line  that can be typed be  n

then

n <= [tex]n \leq \frac{\text { total length of the page}-\text {top margin} - \text{ bottom margin}}{\text{size of each line }}[/tex]

the top and bottom margins are 0.5 inches each

so we will be having

=> [tex]n \leq \frac{17 -0.5-0.5}{\frac{4}{15}}[/tex]

=>[tex]n \leq \frac{16}{\frac{4}{15}}[/tex]

=>[tex]n \leq \frac{16\times 15}{4}[/tex]

=>[tex]n \leq\frac{240}{4}[/tex]

=> [tex]n \leq 60[/tex]
