Answer:
[tex]3.2x + 0.8 y \leq 50[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN : x denotes the no. of new math books .
y denotes the no. of new workbooks .
Each math book weighs 3.2 pounds.
Each workbook weighs 0.8 pounds.
Total weight of the box of books cannot be more than 50 pounds.
Solution :
Since , the no. of new math books is x and each math book weighs 3.2 pounds .
So, total weight of maths books is 3.2x pounds.
Since , the no. of new workbooks is y and each workbook weighs 0.8 pounds.
So, total weight of workbooks is 0.8y pounds.
Since, Total weight of the box of books cannot be more than 50 pounds and box contains maths and workbooks
So, inequality that represents the maximum number of each type of book that can be shipped in a single box
⇒[tex]3.2x + 0.8 y \leq 50[/tex]
