Latrell is packing boxes that can contain two types of items. Board games weigh 3 pounds and remote controlled cars weigh 1.5 pounds. The box can hold no more than 25 pounds.


Let x represent the number of board games. Let y represent the number of remote controlled cars.




Enter an inequality that represents the situation.

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is:

3x + 1.5y ≤ 25

Explanation:

The variable x represents the number of board games.  Each one weighs 3 pounds, which gives us the expression 3x.

The variable y represents the number of remote control cars.  Each one weighs 1.5 pounds, which gives us the expression 1.5y.

The sum of their weights gives us the expression 3x+1.5y.

Since the box can hold no more than 25 pounds, the inequality must be less than or equal to:

3x+1.5y≤25
