Let's denote the time it takes to create the product as "t" (in hours). We have the constraint that we have 200 hours available this summer. The inequality representing this time constraint is:
t ≤ 200
To solve this inequality, we simply graph the solution on a number line. Our solution includes all values of t that are less than or equal to 200. Therefore, we shade the number line to the left of or including 200.
Explanation of the solution: This means that any value of "t" (time) that is less than or equal to 200 hours is within the time constraint limit. As long as the time required to create the product falls within this range, it can be achieved within the 200-hour time frame available this summer.
Think about how much time it will take you to create your product. You have
200 hours this summer to devote to creating your product. Write an
inequality that represents your time constraint.
Solve your inequality and graph your solution on a number line.
Explain what your solution means in terms of the situation.
