Cari owns a horse farm and a horse trailer that can transport up to 8,000 pounds of livestock and tack. She travels with 5 horse

s with a combined weight is 6,240 pounds. Let t represent the average weight of tack per horse. Which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the weight of tack Cari can allow for each horse?
6,240+t<=8,000
8000>=6,240t
6240+5t<=8,000
8,000+6,240<=5t
8000-6240>=5t

5 horses with a combined weight of 6,240 pounds
horse trailer has a limit of 8,000 pounds of horse and tacks.

Find the weight of tack, t, for each horse that Cari can allow.

5t + 6,240 < 8,000

5t + 6,240 < 8,000
    - 6,240    -6,240
5t              < 1,760
<span>÷5                 ÷5    </span>
t               < 352

Each horse can carry a tack that weighs no more than 352 pounds.

Any tack that weighs beyond <span>352 </span>pounds is will exceed the maximum carrying capacity of the horse trailer.
