Answer:
. The sweaters cost $10 or less each. We graph it on a number line at 10 and use a filled in dot pointing towards zero for less than.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Smith buys 3 sweaters (represented by 3s) and 2 jeans (represented by 2j) for a total of at most $120. We don't know the total but we do know she couldn't spend more than $120.
We write .
We know the jeans cost $45 each, so j=45. We substitute,
We solve for s by subtracting 90 to the other side and dividing the result by 3.
.
The sweaters cost $10 or less each.

They are equally spicy.
The spiciness of chili is determined by comparing the proportion of chili powder to tomato sauce. Jack consistently uses 222 teaspoons of chili powder per cup of sauce, whereas Marsha's ratio varies, but never exceeds 126.86 teaspoons per cup. Therefore, Jack's chili is spicier.
To determine whose chili is spicier, we must compare the ratio of chili powder to tomato sauce used by Jack and Marsha. Jack uses 222 teaspoons of chili powder for every 1 cup of tomato sauce. For Marsha, we'll have to establish the ratios based on her table.
Regardless of the quantity she makes, Marsha's ratio never goes below 115.43, which is less than Jack's ratio of 222. So, Jack's chili is spicier than Marsha's.
