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

Answer:

Let B represents the number of basil plants and F represents the number of fennel plants,

As per the given condition: 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.

Each basil plant require 350 of water

⇒ total number of basil plant require water = 350B

Each Fennel plant require 525 of water.

⇒ total number of fennel plant require water = 525F

Since, Michelle has a maximum of 4500 milliliters of water;

then;

$350B+525F \leq 4500$

Therefore, an inequality that represents the number of basil plants(B) and fennel plants can water today is; $350B+525F \leq 4500$
