Question

A restaurant is preparing for a large barbeque cook out. The restaurant is planning to cook briskets that are 5 lb each and hamburgers that are a 0.25 lb each. No more than 150 lb of meat (briskets and hamburgers) will be cooked. Which inequality represents all possible combinations of x, the number of hamburgers and y, the number of briskets that will be cooked?

Answer 1

The inequality that can be used to represents all possible combinations of x, the number of hamburgers and y, the number of briskets that will be cooked is 5y + 0.25x ≤ 150

Given:

pounds of brisket = 5 lb

Pounds of hamburger = 0.25 lb

Total pounds of briskets and hamburgers = no more than 150 lb

number of hamburgers = x

number of briskets = y

No more than in inequality = (≤)

The inequality:

5y + 0.25x ≤ 150

Therefore, inequality that can be used to represents all possible combinations of x, the number of hamburgers and y, the number of briskets that will be cooked is 5y + 0.25x ≤ 150
