Question

Mohib is mailing a package that has a length of 18 inches and a width of 15 inches. The delivery service requires that the length has to be 20 inches or less and that the length plus the width be no more than 32 inches.

Options:
A. Mohib's package meets the requirements.
B. Mohib's package exceeds the length requirement.
C. Mohib's package exceeds the width requirement.
D. Mohib's package exceeds both the length and width requirements.

Answer 1

B) Mohib's package exceeds the length requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Mohib's package meets the requirements, we need to check if the length is 20 inches or less and if the length plus the width is no more than 32 inches. Mohib's package has a length of 18 inches and a width of 15 inches. Since the length is less than 20 inches, it meets the length requirement. To check the length plus width requirement, we add the length and width: 18 + 15 = 33 inches. Since 33 inches is greater than 32 inches, Mohib's package exceeds the length plus width requirement.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. Mohib's package exceeds the length requirement.
