Let's tackle the problem step by step.
1. Define Variables and Create Inequality
Define the Variables:
- Let \( P \) be the number of painting classes.
- Let \( T \) be the number of pottery classes.
Creating the Inequality: Each painting class requires 3 participants, and each pottery class requires 5 participants. The maximum number of participants allowed is 150.
The constraint can be represented in inequality form as follows:
\[ 3P + 5T \leq 150 \]
2. Check the Scheduled Classes Against the Capacity
Now, we have the center scheduling 10 painting classes and 5 pottery classes.
Substituting the values into the equation:
- \( P = 10 \)
- \( T = 5 \)
Substituting these values into the inequality:
\[ 3(10) + 5(5) \leq 150 \] \[ 30 + 25 \leq 150 \] \[ 55 \leq 150 \]
Conclusion
Since the result \( 55 \leq 150 \) is true, this means that the schedule of 10 painting classes and 5 pottery classes does meet the participant capacity limitation.
