Question

Gamal is buying ham and turkey to make sandwiches for a party. At most, he can spend $50, and he must buy more than 8 pounds of meat to make enough sandwiches. The ham costs $6 per pound, and the turkey costs $7 per pound. He writes the system of inequalities shown to model h, the number of pounds of ham, and t, the number of pounds of turkey, he can buy.

Inequality 1: h + t > 8

Inequality 2: 6h + 7t ≥ 50

Which inequality did Gamal write incorrectly, and how can it be corrected?

Inequality 1 is incorrect; it should be h + t ≤ 8.
Inequality 1 is incorrect; it should be h + t > 50.
Inequality 2 is incorrect; it should be 6h + 7t ≤ 8.
Inequality 2 is incorrect; it should be 6h + 7t ≤ 50.

Answer 1

its d

Explanation:

6h + 7t should be less than or equal to 50 because that is all the money he has to spend

Answer 2

Inequality 2 is incorrect; it should be 6h + 7t ≤ 50.

Explanation:

Inequality 1: h + t > 8 this is correct we need more than 8 lbs of meat

Inequality 2: 6h + 7t ≥ 50

This is incorrect. This states he must spend 50 or more dollars

6h + 7t ≤ 50

This is 50 or less dollars being spent
