Answer 1

a. Group 1 and 2

b. 6 people

Explanation:

(a) So the "fishing adventures" company rents max. 1200lbs boats for 150lbs people. 10lbs gear for everyone, 200 for the boat.

1. 150+10=160 (everyone will in total be 160lbs)

2. 1200-200=1000 (for the gear)

3. 1000/160=6.25 (6 people can rent a boat---don't cut anybody and 7 people would cause overload!)
4. Group 1 and 2 can rent because they all have less than 6 people!

(b)

It's already been answered! (see above underlined portion).

6 people max can rent a boat!

I hope this helps <3
