To represent the situation in an inequality, we start by setting up the information given. We know that:
- Each batch of brownies (represented by \( x \)) provides 17 servings.
- Each pie (represented by \( y \)) provides 10 servings.
- Hanson needs at least 31 servings.
We can express the total number of servings as:
\[
17x + 10y
\]
Since Hanson requires at least 31 servings, we can write the following inequality:
\[
17x + 10y \geq 31
\]
This is the inequality in standard form that describes the situation. Thus, the final answer is:
\[
17x + 10y \geq 31
\]
