Going on a backpacking trip and we'll need to carry enough water for the duration of the trip he figures who will need at least 601 oz of water total a small bottle holds 15 oz of water and a large bottle holds 24 oz of water select the inequity and standard form that describes the situation
Let's assume the number of small bottles needed is represented by "x" and the number of large bottles needed is represented by "y".
We are given that a small bottle holds 15 oz of water. Therefore, the total ounces of water from small bottles is 15x.
We are also given that a large bottle holds 24 oz of water. Therefore, the total ounces of water from large bottles is 24y.
We want to carry enough water for a total of 601 oz, so our equation becomes:
15x + 24y ≥ 601
The standard form of this inequality is:
-15x - 24y ≤ -601
