Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn. More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat.Let w represent the number of acres of wheat and c represent the number of acres of corn. Identify two inequalities that represent this situation. A. w > 5 B. w + c ≤ 27 C. w – c ≤ 27 D. c < 5
Accepted Solution
A:
The first thing we do in these cases is to define the variables. We have then: w = represent the number of acres of wheat c = represent the number of acres of corn We write now the inequalities based is: "Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn" w + c <= 27 "More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat" w> 5 Answer: two inequalities that represent this situation are: w + c <= 27 w> 5
