PLEASE HELP ME School rules permit no fewer than 2 teachers per 25 students. There are at least 245 students enrolled in the school. If x represent teachers and y represents students, which system of linear inequalities can be used to determine the possible number of teachers and students at the school?

a)2y ≥ 25x and y ≥ 245
b)2y ≤ 25x and y ≥ 245
c)25y ≤ 2x and y ≥ 245
d)25y ≥ 2x and y ≥ 245

Answer: b)
2y\leq 25x and
y\geq 245


Explanation:

If y represents students .

"There are at least 245 students enrolled in the school" gives


y\geq 245

Since school rules permit no fewer (atleast) than 2 teachers per 25 students.

Thus the rate of teachers=
(x)/(y)\geq (2)/(25)


\\\Rightarrow25x\geq 2y

Hence, b is the right option.
