Complete question :

Cari owns a horse farm and a horse trailer that can transport up to 8000 pounds of livestock and take she travles with 5 horses whose combined weight is 6240

Let t represent the average weight of tack per horse, which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the weight of the tack cari can allow for each horse

Answer:

t ≤ 352

Explanation:

Maximum allowable weight (tack and horse) = 8000 pounds

Combined weight of 5 horses = 6240

Let average weight of tack per horse = t

Average weight of tack for the 5 horses = 5t

Hence, weight of tack + weight of horse ≤ 8000

5t + 6240 ≤ 8000

5t ≤ 8000 - 6240

5t ≤ 1760

t ≤ 352
