Question

Michelle has a maximum of 4500 milliliters  of water for her plants today. Each basil plant requires 350 of water, and each fennel plant requires 525  of water. Write an inequality that represents the number of basil plants (B)(B)left parenthesis, B, right parenthesis and fennel plants (F) Michelle can water today.

Answer 1

The inequality becomes :

350B+525F≤4500

Explanation:

Let the number of basil plants be represented by = B

Let the number of fennel plants be represented by = F

As each basil plant needs 350 ml of water, so B basil plants will need 350*B = 350B ml of water

Similarly, each fennel plant needs 525 ml of water so F fennel plants will need 525*F = 525F ml of water.

And both the plants need to be watered with a maximum of 4500 ml of water.

So inequality becomes: 350B+525F≤4500
