Question

Cheryl is making a batch of peach preserves to sell at a local market. She has 192 ounces of peach preserves to place into either 8-ounce or 12-ounce jars. Which graph best represents the number of jars Cheryl can completely fill with preserves?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

8x+12y<=192

Explanation:

Create an inequality to represent Cheryl's situation, where x is the number of 8-ounce jars, and y is the number of 12-ounce jars.

8x+12y<=192

To graph the inequality, rewrite it in slope-intercept form.

8x+12y<=192

12y<=-8x+192

y<=-(2)/(3)x+16

Graph the boundary line as solid, with a y-intercept at (0,16) and a slope -2/3 of. Then, shade the half-plane below the line.
