Question

Alia needs to bring at least 25 pieces of fruit to a training practice. She suggested apples and oranges and was told to be sure to bring more than 10 apples. Let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges.
Which inequalities model the situation? Choose exactly three answers that are correct.

A. x + y > 25
B. x + y ≥ 25
C. x > 10
D. x ≥ 10
E. y > 0
F. y ≥ 0

Answer 1

I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are options B and C. The inequalities that would model the situation would be x + y ≥ 25 and  x > 10. The word at least in the first part would mean less than or equal to. Hope this answers the question.
