How many suitcases averaging 32 pounds apiece can be loaded onto a plane that can hold a maximum of 2,150 pounds of storage?
If s represents the number of suitcases, how would you write an inequality expressing this situation?

Given that each suitcase averages 32 pounds, and the total weight the plane can hold is 2,150 pounds, we can write the inequality as:
32s ≤ 2,150
Where:
s = number of suitcases
32 = average weight of each suitcase
2,150 = maximum weight the plane can hold
This inequality ensures that the total weight of the suitcases loaded onto the plane does not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the plane.
32s ≤ 2,150
Where:
s = number of suitcases
32 = average weight of each suitcase
2,150 = maximum weight the plane can hold
This inequality ensures that the total weight of the suitcases loaded onto the plane does not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the plane.
