Answer:
8x + 12y < 240
Step-by-step explanation:
If x equals the number of small rugs and y equals the number of medium rugs dyed, we would need to multiply both variables by the number of hours taken to dye each sized rug. It takes 8 hours to dye a small rug (8x), and 12 hours to dye a medium rug (12y).
Then, to find the total number of hours they dye them in, add the terms together.
8x + 12y
The company must dye the rugs in less than 240 hours, so we will use a 'less than' (inequality) sign (it cannot be 240, or any more than 240).
8x + 12y < 240
Like a first step bc. there is a denominator this will be more usefully eliminate it so what you can make it multiplied both sides by 2
- so will get
-2/2x +2*3/2 = 2(-4x+7)/2
(-2x +6)/2 = 2(-4x+7)/2 common denominator the 2 so make the numerators equal and solve for x
-2x+6=-8x+14
6x=8

Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.
Cross multiply
Convert minutes to inches
Final answer: 4 hours
