Calculating Dog Calorie Intake

The video tutorial explains how to solve a compound inequality word problem involving a dog's calorie intake. Enrique plans a diet for his dog, River, who consumes between 510 and 540 calories daily. The tutorial sets up a compound inequality to determine how many treats River can have, given she eats 1.5 servings of dog food daily. The video walks through calculating the calories from dog food, adding treat calories, and solving the inequality to find that River can have 2 to 4 treats per day.

What is the main focus of the problem involving Enrique's dog, River?

• River's sleeping habits

• River's favorite toys

• River's calorie consumption

• River's exercise routine

What is the range of calories River consumes daily?

• Between 510 and 540

• Between 700 and 750

• Between 600 and 650

• Between 400 and 450

What type of inequality is used to represent River's calorie consumption?

• Simple inequality

• Quadratic inequality

• Compound inequality

• Linear inequality

How many servings of dog food does River eat each day?

• Three servings

• One and a half servings

• Two servings

• One serving

How many calories are in one serving of River's dog food?

• 480 calories

• 200 calories

• 540 calories

• 320 calories

What variable is used to represent the number of treats River can have?

• t

• x

• z

• y

How many calories does each treat contain?

• 25 calories

• 10 calories

• 15 calories

• 20 calories

What is the total calorie intake from dog food for River?

• 320 calories

• 480 calories

• 540 calories

• 600 calories

What is the first step in solving the compound inequality?

• Add 480 to all sides

• Subtract 480 from all sides

• Multiply by 15 on all sides

• Divide by 15 on all sides

What is the result of subtracting 480 from 510?

• 30

• 40

• 20

• 50
