Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:x≤ 60 - (3÷1/15)Step-by-step explanation:Number of blankets to be made = 3Darcie crochets 1/15 blanket per dayTo crochet one carpet she needs = 15 daysTo crochet three carpets she needs = 15*3 = 45 daysNumber of days she had = 60 daysShe can skip days = 60-45 = 15 daysLet x be the number of days to complete her work.Thus the equation becomes x≤ 60 - (3÷1/15) You can solve for x to determine the number of days, Darcie can skip crocheting, you will get the answer 15....
