The elevator in a building can hold a weight of up to 2,000 pounds. Suppose the average weight among building occupants is 160 pounds per person. Set up an inequality that can be used to find the maximum number of occupants who can safely use the elevator at a time.(1 point)
Let x represent the number of occupants in the elevator.
The total weight of the occupants should not exceed the maximum weight the elevator can hold, so we can set up the inequality:
160x ≤ 2000
This inequality can be used to find the maximum number of occupants (x) who can safely use the elevator at a time.
