Question

You have at most 8 hours to spend at a zoo and a fair. You want to

spend at least
4 hours at the zoo and more than 2 hours at the fair. Let x be the number of hours
at the zoo and let y be the number of hours at the fair. Write a system that
represents this situation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The given situation can be represented by the following system of inequalities:

x ≥ 4 (Spending at least 4 hours at the zoo)

y > 2 (Spending more than 2 hours at the fair)

x + y ≤ 8 (Total time spent at the zoo and fair cannot exceed 8 hours)

Therefore, the system that represents this situation is:

x ≥ 4

y > 2

x + y ≤ 8
