Question

represents the number of suitcases, how would you write an inequality expressing this situation?

Answer 1

To determine how many suitcases can be loaded onto the plane, we need to divide the maximum storage capacity of the plane by the average weight of each suitcase.

Let s be the number of suitcases and 25 pounds be the average weight per suitcase.

25s ≤ 1750

The inequality can be expressed as:

25s ≤ 1750
