3. Write an inequality to represent each of the following word problems. Solve each problem. Explain your solution in context.
a. Loralie is having a birthday. She wants to bring treats for her friends at school. Her mom gives her $20. How much can she spend per friend if she wants to bring treats for herself and eight friends?
b. Jeremy is two years older than Rachel. The sum of their ages is less than 46. How old could Jeremy be?
c. Kathryn is five years old and so excited to ride all the rides at the local amusement park. Unfortunately, she is 42.5 in tall and one ride requires that she be at least 50 in. You want to tell her in about how many years, she’ll be able to ride. A quick google search shows that the average child grows 2 ½ in per year. How many years will you tell Kathryn it will be until she can ride all the rides?
