Question

A snack tray at a party has cheese squares with 2 grams of protein apiece and turkey slices with 3 grams of protein apiece. Which inequality represents the possible ways Nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein, if x is the number of cheese squares that she eats and y is the number of turkey slices that she eats?

12 ≤ x + y
12 ≥ x + y
12 ≤ 2x + 3y
12 ≥ 2x + 3y

Answer 1

The letter answer is c

Explanation:

Answer 2

The inequality that represents the possible ways Nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein is 12 ≤ 2x + 3y, where x is the number of cheese squares that she eats and y is the number of turkey slices that she eats. In equation, 12 ≤ 2(2) + 3(3) to 12 ≤ 4 + 9 to 12 ≤ 13.
