1. **Defining Variables and Creating the Inequality:**
Let:
- \( Y \) = number of yoga classes
- \( S \) = number of spin classes
Each yoga class requires 5 participants, so the total number of participants for yoga classes will be \( 5Y \). Each spin class requires 10 participants, which means that the total number of participants for spin classes will be \( 10S \). Since the fitness center can accommodate a maximum of 200 participants, the linear inequality representing this constraint can be written as:
\[ 5Y + 10S \leq 200 \]
2. **Evaluating the Scheduled Classes:**
The center is scheduling 6 yoga classes and 8 spin classes. We can substitute \( Y = 6 \) and \( S = 8 \) into the inequality:
\[ 5(6) + 10(8) \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ 30 + 80 = 110 \]
Now we need to compare the total participants (110) to the maximum capacity (200):
Since \( 110 \leq 200 \), the schedule of 6 yoga classes and 8 spin classes meets the participant capacity requirement.
