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

Question

Responses

25s ≥ 1,750
25s ≥ 1,750

25s ≤ 1,750
25s ≤ 1,750

1,750s ≤ 25
1,750s ≤ 25

1,750s ≥ 25

Answer 1

To express the situation where you want to find out how many suitcases averaging 25 pounds each can be loaded onto a plane with a maximum capacity of 1,750 pounds, you would set up the following inequality:

Let \( s \) represent the number of suitcases. The total weight of the suitcases would be \( 25s \) (since each suitcase weighs 25 pounds). The plane can hold a maximum of 1,750 pounds, so you can write the inequality as:

\[ 25s \leq 1,750 \]

This means that the total weight of the suitcases must not exceed the maximum capacity of the plane. Therefore, the correct answer is:

25s ≤ 1,750
