Question

Sam is moving bags of soil from a loading dock into a storeroom. The top soil weighs 40 pounds per bag and the mulch weighs 20 pounds per bag. The cart Sam uses to move the bags can only carry up to 480 pounds.


Would this be y>=-2x+ 24 or y<=-2x+24

Answer 1

The inequality that can be used to represent the number of topsoil and mulch Sam can carry is 40x + 20y ≤ 480

Given:

Weight of top soil = 40 pounds

Weight of mulch = 20 pounds

Total weight Sam can carry = 480 pounds

let

number of bags of top but soil = x

number of weight of mulch = y

The inequality:

40x + 20y ≤ 480

Therefore, the inequality that can be used to represent the number of topsoil and mulch Sam can carry is 40x + 20y ≤ 480
