Question

Nadiya has 3 dozen apples. She saves 5 apples to eat later and uses the rest of the apples to make applesauce. A batch of applesauce, b, requires 8 apples. Nadiya claims that the inequality 8b−5≤36 represents this situation and uses this inequality to determine that she can make 5 batches of applesauce. Select all of the following that are true statements about whether or not Nadiya is correct.

A. Nadiya is not correct. The inequality 8b+5≤36 describes how many batches she can make.


B. Nadiya is correct. The inequality 8b−5≤36 describes how many batches she can make.


C. The solution to the inequality is b≤31/8.


D. The solution to the inequality is b≤41/8.


E. Since 5>31/8, 5 is not a solution.


F. Since 5<41/8, 5 is a solution.
