Question

A shipping container will be used to transport several 150-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 13700 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing cc, the total number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container.

Answer 1

Answer:

150c + 13,700 < 23,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest weight that can be loaded into the container = 23,000 kilograms

Weight of each crate = 150 kilogram

Weight of other shipment = 13,700 kilograms

c = total number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded

This can be represented by the inequality:

150c + 13,700 < 23,000

That is, Weight of each crate multiplied by total number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded Plus Weight of other shipment less than greatest weight that can be loaded into the container
