Answer:

Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of 1 horse = 1,200 lb

Weight of trailer = 2,700 lb

Jacks'truck can tow a maximum of 5000 pounds.

To find the maximum number of horses Jack can take in his trailer without going over the maximum weight his truck can tow.

Solution:

Let the maximum number of horses that Jack can take be = x

Using unitary method to find weight of x horses.

If 1 horse weights = 1,200 lb

Then x horses will weight in lbs = 1,200\times x = 1,200x

Total weight of horses and trailer in lbs = 1200x+2700

Since the maximum weight the truck can tow = 5,000 lb, so the inequality can be given as:

1200x+2700\leq5000

Subtracting both sides by 2700.

1200x+2700-2700\leq5000-2700

1200x\leq2300

Dividing both sides by 1200.

\frac{1200x}{1200}\leq\frac{2300}{1200}

x\leq1.91

From the inequality solution for x, we can conclude that Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.
