Going on a backpacking trip and we'll need to carry enough water for the duration of the trip he figures who will need at least 601 oz of water total a small bottle holds 15 oz of water and a large bottle holds 24 oz of water select the inequity and standard form that describes the situation

Answer 1

Let's assume the number of small bottles needed is represented by "x" and the number of large bottles needed is represented by "y".

We are given that a small bottle holds 15 oz of water. Therefore, the total ounces of water from small bottles is 15x.

We are also given that a large bottle holds 24 oz of water. Therefore, the total ounces of water from large bottles is 24y.

We want to carry enough water for a total of 601 oz, so our equation becomes:
15x + 24y ≥ 601

The standard form of this inequality is:
-15x - 24y ≤ -601
