how many suitcases averaging 25 pounds apiece can be loaded onto a plane that can hold a maximum of 1,750 pounds of storage? how would you write an inequality expressing this situation? use s for the weight of one suitcase, and include it on the left side or the inequality. do not solve the inequality
The number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane depends on the weight of each suitcase and the maximum weight the plane can hold. Let's use s to represent the weight of one suitcase.
The inequality that expresses this situation is:
s * x ≤ 1,750
where x is the number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane.
This inequality states that the total weight of the suitcases (s * x) must be less than or equal to the maximum weight the plane can hold (1,750 pounds).
To determine the number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane, we need to divide the total weight limit of the plane's storage by the average weight of each suitcase.
Let's say the weight of one suitcase is denoted as 's' (in this case, s = 25 pounds). The weight limit of the plane's storage is 1,750 pounds.
The inequality expressing this situation would be:
s * n ≤ 1,750
Where:
n represents the number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane.
To determine how many suitcases can be loaded onto the plane, we need to divide the total weight limit of the storage by the average weight of each suitcase.
Let's use the variable "s" to represent the weight of one suitcase. The total weight limit of the storage is 1,750 pounds. We can write an inequality expressing this situation as:
s * x ≤ 1,750
In this inequality, "x" represents the number of suitcases, and "s" represents the weight of one suitcase. The left side of the inequality, s * x, represents the total weight of all the suitcases combined, which should be less than or equal to the weight limit of 1,750 pounds.
Note: Please keep in mind that we have not solved the inequality and simply represented the situation using an inequality expression.
