The maximum weight of 2,150 pounds can be divided by the weight of each suitcase (32 pounds) to find the maximum number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane.
2,150 / 32 = 67.1875
Since you can't have a fraction of a suitcase, the maximum number of suitcases that can be loaded onto the plane is 67. Therefore, the inequality expressing this situation would be:
s ≤ 67
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?

The correct inequality expressing this situation would be:
32s ≤ 2,150
This inequality states that the total weight of the suitcases (32 pounds each) loaded onto the plane (32s) should be less than or equal to the maximum storage capacity of 2,150 pounds.
32s ≤ 2,150
This inequality states that the total weight of the suitcases (32 pounds each) loaded onto the plane (32s) should be less than or equal to the maximum storage capacity of 2,150 pounds.
