Answer:
2.25c + 1.75p ≤ 28
1.25c + 2.125p ≤ 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Write a system of two inequalities to model loaves of bread and
cake that can be baked.
let
number of cornbread loaves = c
number of poppy-seed blueberry Cake loaves = p
corn bread
cups of flour = 2 1/4 = 2.25
teaspoon of baking soda = 1 1/4 = 1.25
One loaf of poppy-seed blueberry cake
cups of flour = 1 3/4 = 1.75
teaspoons of baking soda = 2 1/8 = 2.125
The bakery has 28 cups of flour and 30 teaspoons of baking soda in stock.
Quantity of flour to use
c(2.25) + p(1.75)
Quantity of baking soda to use
c(1.25) + p(2.125)
The inequality is
c(2.25) + p(1.75) ≤ 28
c(1.25) + p(2.125) ≤ 30
Alternatively,
2.25c + 1.75p ≤ 28
1.25c + 2.125p ≤ 30
