Answer:
a) Amount of pasta remaining ≤ p(12 - 8)
b) Amount of pasta remaining ≤ 4p
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of pasta in one container = p
Let y represent the amount of pasta that is left.
Since the students eat 8 containers worth of pasta out of 12 pasta containers
But we weren't told that the students did not eat out of the 4 remaining pasta containers
y ≤ p(12 - 8)
where y = p(12 - 8) if the students did not touch the remaining 4 containers.
b) Using the distributive property
p(12 - 8) = 12p - 8p
y ≤ 12p - 8p
y ≤ 4p
