You are trying to decide if it is worth the investment to make the cakes if it takes 2.5 hours to make each cake and you have 200 hours this summer to devote to creating your product. Write an inequality that represents your time constraint.

*Use x as the variabl

1 answer

Let x represent the number of cakes made.

The time it takes to make each cake is 2.5 hours.

To find the total time spent making cakes, we multiply the number of cakes made by the time it takes to make each cake:

Total time spent = x * 2.5

Since we have a maximum of 200 hours to devote to creating cakes this summer, the inequality representing the time constraint is:

x * 2.5 ≤ 200
