Procedures for Solving Rational Inequalities
To solve Rational Inequalities:
EXTEND: CONCEPT APPLICATION IN REAL WORLD PROBLEMS

Seatwork 1. You have 6 liters of a pineapple juice blend that is 50% pineapple juice.
How many liters of pure pineapple juice needs to be added to make a blend that is
75% pineapple juice?
Hint: If x is the amount of pure pineapple juice to be added, the percentage can be
3+ x
written as .
6+ x

Seatwork 2. Two ships travel from Dumaguete to Cgayan de Oro differ in average
speed by 10 kph. The slower ship takes 3 hours longer to travel a 240 kilometer
route than for the faster ship to travel a 200 kilometer route. Find the speed of the
slower ship.
Hint: Construct an equation with time t as the variable.
