Write inequalities to represent the distance to the nearest exit door and the weight of the cargo. The distance must be less than 150 feet () and the cargo weight must be no more than 2,400 pounds ().
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. We use the variable to represent the distance to the nearest exit door in feet.
2. We use the variable to represent the weight of the cargo in pounds.
STEP 2
For the first situation, we need to express that the distance to the nearest exit door is less than 150 feet. This can be represented by an inequality.
STEP 3
For the second situation, we need to express that the cargo of the truck weighs no more than 2,400 pounds. This can be represented by an inequality as well.
The inequalities representing the situations are:
1. for the distance to the nearest exit door.
2. for the weight of the cargo of the truck.
