Question

A truck that can carry no more than 7600 lb is being used to transport refrigerators and upright pianos each refrigerator weighs 250lb and each piano weighs 425 lb. Write and graph an inequality to show how many refrigerators and how many pianos the truck could carry. Will 13 refrigerators and 11 pianos overload the truck? Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

7600 ≥ 250r+425p

7600 ≥ 250(13)+425(11)

7600 ≥ 3,250+4675

7600≥7925

This statement is incorrect. Therefore no, the truck cannot transport that load
