Question

Cari owns a horse farm and a horse trailer than can transport up to 8000 pounds of livestock and tack. She travels with 5 horses whose combined weight is 6240 pounds. let t represent the average weight of tack per horse. which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the weight of tack Cari can allow for each horse?

A. 6240+t≤8000
B. 8000≥6240t
C. 6240+5t≤8000
D. 8000+6240≤5t
E. 8000-6240≤5t

Answer 1

Answer: your answer should be D

Explanation:

because the trailer is already 8000 pounds. so you would add that weight with the weight of the horses. the 5t would represent the number of horses and how many pounds they are since you don't know that part of the question.
