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