A sugar solution currently measures 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the solution increases 5 degrees per minute. The sugar solution will caramelize at temperatures greater than 310 and less than 338 degrees Fahrenheit. Which inequality can be used to find x, the number of minutes it will take for the solution to begin caramelizing? 310 < 250 + 5x < 338 310 < 250 + 5x < 338 310 < 5(x + 250) < 338 310 < 5(x + 250) < 338

Respuesta :

Let, the number of minutes = x
It  would be: 310 < 250 + 5x < 338

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

The inequality which is used to find the the number of minutes taken by solution to begin caramelize is [tex]310 < 250+5x < 338[/tex].

What is inequality?

A statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions is called inequality.

According to the given question.

The current temperature of a sugar solution is 250 degree Fahrenheit.

Per minute the temperature of solution increases by 5 degree.

Also, x is the number of minutes taken by the sugar to caramelize.

⇒ The total increase in the temperature in x minutes = 25 + 5x

Since, the sugar solution caramelize at temperature greater than 310 and less than 338.

Therefore, the inequality which is used to find the the number of minutes taken by solution to begin caramelize is given by

[tex]310 < 250+5x < 338[/tex]

Hence, the required inequality to find the value of x is [tex]310 < 250 +5x < 338.[/tex]
