Writing and Graphing Inequalities in Real-Life Scenarios

A farmer has 100 acres of land. He wants to plant corn and wheat. Each acre of corn requires 2 hours of labor, and each acre of wheat requires 3 hours of labor. If he has a total of 240 hours of labor available, write an inequality to represent the situation and graph it.

• x + y = 100, 2x + 3y = 240

• x + y ≥ 100, 2x + 3y ≥ 240

• x + y ≤ 50, 2x + 3y ≤ 300

• x + y ≤ 100, 2x + 3y ≤ 240

A school is planning a field trip and has a budget of $500. The cost per student is $20 for the trip. Write an inequality to represent the maximum number of students that can attend the trip and graph it.

• 20x < 500, x < 25

• 15x ≤ 500, x ≤ 20

• 20x ≤ 500, x ≤ 25

• 25x ≤ 500, x ≤ 20
