Answer 2

Answer:

Darcie cannot skip no more than 15 days and still meet her goal of crocheting at least 3 blankets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding out how many blankets Darcie can crochet in 60 days without skipping any days.

Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15 of a blanket per day. So in 60 days, she can crochet:

$\frac{1}{15}$blanket/day x 60 days = 4 blankets

Since Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets, she can accomplish her goal by crocheting for all 60 days.

Now, let's say Darcie wants to skip some days and still meet her goal of crocheting at least 3 blankets.

Let's represent the number of days she skips crocheting with the variable "s".

The total number of days Darcie has is 60, and she wants to crochet at least 3 blankets. If she skips "s" days,

then the number of days she spends crocheting is 60 - s.

The number of blankets she can crochet in the time she spends crocheting is given by:

$(60 - s) \times \frac{1}{15} = 4 - \frac{s}{15}$

The inequality to determine the number of days, s, Darcie can skip crocheting and still meet her goal is:

$4 - \frac{s}{15} \geqslant 3$

This inequality can be simplified to:

$\frac{s}{15} \leqslant 1$

Multiplying both sides by 15, we get:

$s \leqslant 15$

Therefore, Darcie can skip no more than 15 days and still meet her goal of crocheting at least 3 blankets.
