The inequality that represents the time constraint is:
2.5x ≤ 200
To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x:
2.5x ≤ 200 (divide both sides by 2.5)
x ≤ 80
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 80. This means that you can make cakes if the value of x (the number of cakes) is less than or equal to 80.
You are trying to decide if it is worth the investment to make the cakes if it takes 2.5 hours to make each cake and you have 200 hours this summer to devote to creating your product. Write an inequality that represents your time constraint.
*Use x as the variable
Solve the inequality
