1) (Information in this problem may not be accurate at all) Some fish can’t or shouldn’t be sold at certain ages. It’s not always easy to tell how old a fish is, but we can get a decent estimate based on its size. Betta fish are roughly 0.1 inch when they hatch and grow at a rate of about 0.2 inches per week. Most sellers will sell bettas that are larger than 1 inch but no more than 3 inches long. How old are the bettas that they are selling?

Represent your solutions
a) algebraically and
b) graphically (on a number line)

Given :  Betta fish are roughly 0.1 inch when they hatch and grow at a rate of about 0.2 inches per week.  

Most sellers will sell bettas that are larger than 1 inch but no more than 3 inches long.

To Find :  How old are the bettas that they are selling

Solution:

fish are roughly 0.1 inch when they hatch and grow at a rate of about 0.2 inches per week.  

0.1 inch initially

grown every week = 0.2 inches

grown in x weeks = 0.2x  inches

Fish after x weeks  = 0.1  + 0.2x  

1  <  0.1  + 0.2x  ≤ 3

=> 0.9  < 0.2x  ≤ 2.9

=>  4.5 < x    ≤  14.5  

bettas that they are selling are older than 4.5 weeks but not more than 14.5 weeks old
