Kaylin decides to make more than 5 ounces of trail mix out of M&Ms and raisins. She knows that there are approximately 139 calories in each ounce of M&Ms and approximately 85 calories in each ounce of raisins. She wants the trail mix to contain less than 600 calories in all.

Use x to represent the number of ounces of M&Ms and use y to represent the number of ounces of raisins Kaylin uses.

Write an inequality in standard form to represent the weight of the trail mix. Use no spaces in your inequality.

m = ounces of M&M
r = ounces of raisins

calories = 139m + 85r

calories < 600

139m+85r<600
