Question

How many suitcases averaging 32 pounds apiece can be loaded onto a plane that can hold a maximum of 2,150 pounds of storage?

If s represents the number of suitcases, how would you write an inequality expressing this situation?

2,150s ≤ 32
2,150s ≤ 32

32s ≤ 2,150
32s ≤ 2,150

2,150s ≥ 32
2,150s ≥ 32

32s ≥ 2,150

Answer 2

32s ≤ 2,150

Answer 3

Given that each suitcase averages 32 pounds, and the total weight the plane can hold is 2,150 pounds, we can write the inequality as:

32s ≤ 2,150

Where:
s = number of suitcases
32 = average weight of each suitcase
2,150 = maximum weight the plane can hold

This inequality ensures that the total weight of the suitcases loaded onto the plane does not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the plane.
