Question

Judah's family wants to ride the bumper boats at a water park. There are 4 children (c) and 2 adults 9 (a) in Judah's family. The boats are safe if 40c + 12a ≤ 500. Can Judah's family ride the bumper boats safely?

Answer 1

268
`\leq`500

Explanation:

40(4)+12(9)= 160+108=268

268
`\leq`500 is the answer

Answer 2

Yes, the boats are safe to ride.

Explanation:

40 (4) + 12 (2) ≤ 500

160 + 24 ≤ 500

184 ≤ 500

184 is less than 500.

because I was not sure if you had 9 adults instead of 2, this is the answer:

40 (4) + 12 (9) ≤ 500

160 + 108 ≤ 500

268 ≤ 500

268 is less than 500
