Question

Latrell is packing boxes that can contain two types of items. Board games weigh 3 pounds and remote controlled cars weigh 1.5 pounds. The box can hold no more than 25 pounds.

Let x represent the number of board games. Let y represent the number of remote controlled cars.


Enter an inequality that represents the situation.

Answer 1

3x + 1.5 y < 25
hope this helps!

Answer 2

3x+1.5y≤25 X represents board games and each board game weighs 3 lbs (3x). Y represents remote controlled cars which each weigh 1.5 lbs (1.5y). The inequality sign (less than or equal to, ≤) is used because in total the amount of board games and remote controlled cars CANNOT exceed 25 lbs.
