A shipping container will be used to transport several 150-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 24000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 6400 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Which inequality can be used to determine xx, the greatest number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container
Answer:
Answer:
150c + 13,700 < 23,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Greatest weight that can be loaded into the container = 23,000 kilograms
Weight of each crate = 150 kilogram
Weight of other shipment = 13,700 kilograms
c = total number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded
This can be represented by the inequality:
150c + 13,700 < 23,000
That is, Weight of each crate multiplied by total number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded Plus Weight of other shipment less than greatest weight that can be loaded into the container
