A shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 25500 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 6400 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of 40-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container.

If a shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The inequality that  can be used to determine x is: 40x≤ 25,500-6,400 and the number of 40-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container is:  x=≤ 477.5.

Inequality

x is the integer

First step is to formulate the inequality

40x≤ 25,500-6,400

Now let determine the x by using the inequality

40x≤ 25,500-6,400

40x≤19,100

x=≤19,100/40

x=≤ 477.5

Therefore If a shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The inequality that  can be used to determine x is: 40x≤ 25,500-6,400 and the number of 40-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container is:  x=≤ 477.5.
