Given

A salad dressing recipe requires at least 8 ounces of oil to be combined with some combination of vinegar and lemon juice in a 16-ounce container.

Find the inequality of this problem

To proof

As given

A salad dressing recipe requires at least ounces of oil = 8 ounces

let us assume that the at least 8 ounces of oil to be combined with some combination of vinegar and lemon juice be x.

Total container capacity = 16-ounce

than the equation is

8 + x ≤ 16

x ≤ 8

i.e some combination of vinegar and lemon juice be 8 ounces.

when at least 8 ounces of oil to be combined with some combination of vinegar and lemon juice.

Hence proved
