Question

Marisol is preparing a care package to send to her brother. The package will include a board game that weighs 4 lb and several 14 lb snack packs. The total weight of the care package must be less than 25 lb. Drag and drop the answer into the box.

Answer 1

Marisol must send fewer than 81 snack packs

Answer 2

Marisol must send less than one snack pack.

Explanation:

Let, the number of snack pack be 'x'.

As, the weight of 1 snack pack is 14 lb. Then, the weight of 'x' snack pack is
`14x` lbs.

Also, it is given that there is a board game of weight 4 lb.

Since, the total weight of the package must be less than 25.

Thus, we get,

`4+14x<25`

i.e.
`14x<21`

i.e.
`x<(21)/(14)`

i.e. x < 1.5

Thus, the number of snack packs must be less than 1 (Since the snack pack cannot be in decimals).

Hence, Marisol must send less than one snack pack.
