​How many suitcases averaging 25 pounds apiece can be loaded onto a plane that can hold a maximum of 1,750 pounds of storage? If s

Question

represents the number of suitcases, how would you write an inequality expressing this situation?(1 point)
Responses

1,750s≤25
1 thousand 750 s is less than or equal to 25

25s≤1,750
25 s is less than or equal to 1 thousand 750

25s≥1,750
25 s is greater than or equal to 1 thousand 750

1,750s≥25

Answer 1

To express the situation where the average weight of the suitcases is 25 pounds and the maximum weight the plane can hold is 1,750 pounds, you would write the inequality based on the relationship:

The total weight of the suitcases (which is represented as 25 times the number of suitcases \( s \)) must be less than or equal to the maximum weight that the plane can hold (1,750 pounds).

This can be represented mathematically as:

\[ 25s \leq 1,750 \]

So the correct response is:

25s ≤ 1,750
(25 s is less than or equal to 1 thousand 750)
