Julie a seamstress works for 8 hr each day hemming pants and bringing in waists. It takes her up to 30 min to hem a pair of pants and up to an hour to bring in a waist. Write a linear inequality modeling the number of projects she can complete in a day.

Respuesta :

SOLUTION:

Let "x" be the number of pants hemmed and "y" be the number of waists brought in.

Note that 30 minutes is also the same as 0.5 hours.

[tex]0.5x+1y\text{ }\ge\text{ 8}[/tex][tex]0.5x\text{ + y }\ge\text{ 8}[/tex]
