Question

Sherrod and Kamar are planning to drive at most 900 miles road trip. Sherrod drives at 60 miles per hour, and Kamar at 50 miles per hour. Let x represent the distance Sherrod drives and y represent the distance Kamar drives.
a. Write an inequality that represents the miles that Sherrod and Kamar drive.

b. GIve 2 possible combinations of miles that Sherrod and Kamar can drive that satisfy the inequality.

Answer 1

The inequality gives the total expected journey from the road trip, such that the time during which Sherrod and Kamar drives is known.

• a. The inequality that represents the miles that Sherrod and Kamar drives is; x + y ≤ 900

• b. Two possible combination of x and y are; (600, 300) and (300, 600)

Reasons:

a. The distance distance Sherrod and Kamar plan to drive ≤ 900 miles

Sherrod's speed = 60 mph

Kamar's speed = 50 mph

The distance Sherrod drives = x

The distance Kamar drives = y

a. The miles driven by Sherrod and Kamar is given by the inequality;

• x + y ≤ 900

b. Two possible combinations are;

First possible combination;

Sherrod drives for 10 hours, which gives;

Distance Sherrod drives = 60 mph × 10 hour = 600 miles

Kamar drives for 900 miles - 600 miles = 300 miles

Which gives;

Sherrod drives for 600 miles and Kamar drives for 300 miles

• First combination; (600, 300)

Second possible combination;

The second possible combination is Sherrod drives for 300 miles and Kamar drives for 600 miles

• Second combination; (300, 600)
