Question

A salad dressing recipe requires at least 8 oz of oil to be combined with some combination of vinegar and lemon juice in a 16 oz container. What inequality models this situation? Let x represent the number of ounces of vinegar and let y represent the number of ounces of lemon juice. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Let x represent the number of ounces of vinegar

Let y represent the number of ounces of lemon juice

Oil required = 8 oz

Container can hold = 16 oz

So the inequality equation will be :

$x+y+8\geq16$
