Answer:

p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Maximum weight elevator can hold ≤ 1800

Weight of delivery person and packages = 520 pounds

Average weight of a person = 160 pounds

Inequality to show how many additional people elevator can hold?

(weight of delivery person and packages + average weight of persons * number of persons) ≤ 1800

Let p = number of persons

(520 + 160p) ≤ 1800

160p ≤ 1800 - 520

160p ≤ 1280

p ≤ 1280 / 160

p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For the model to fit into the car, the scale must be less than ...

  (3 ft)/(1450 ft) = 1/483.33

It might be convenient for Jeff to use a scale factor of 1 : 500. This would result in a model ...

  (1450 ft)/500 · (12 in/ft) = 34.8 in

leaving about 1.2 inches of clearance in his mother's car.
