Time taken for the boats to meet will be given by:
time=(distance)/(speed)
relative speed=(speed of boat A+speed of boat B)
speed of boat A=2.5 mph
speed of boat B=2(2.5)=5 mph
thus
relative speed=(5+2.5)=7.5 mph
distance=30 miles
thus
time=30/7.5=4 hours
thus the earliest they can meet is 4 hours

Georgia [21]

Answer:

x+y\geq30

6c+7b\geq175

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Let c represents the number of boxes of chocolate chip cookies and b represents the boxes for butter cookies.

Anna is selling boxes of chocolate chip cookies (c) for $6 each and boxes of peanut butter cookies (b) for $7 each.

i.e. Cost of 'c' chocolate chip cookies = 6c

Cost of b butter cookies = 7b

She must  sell at least 30 boxes of cookies and at least $175 worth of cookies.

i.e. x+y\geq30

6c+7b\geq175

Thus , the system of inequalities models this situation :

x+y\geq30

6c+7b\geq175
