<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct inequality and number line that model the situation above is:
10 ≤ weight of boxes ≤ 20
and the correct graph is: Graph A
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>The desired weight of raisins is: 15 ounces.
As the weight of the raisins packed differs by a maximum of 5 ounces.
This means that the weight of the raisins packed could either be less by 5 ounces or more by 5 ounces.
i.e. Weight of raisins could be minimum= 15-5=10 ounces.
and weight of raisins could be maximum= 15+5=20 ounces.
Hence, the inequality that will hold true is:
10 ≤ weight of boxes ≤ 20
and the graph that describe this situation is attached to the answer.
