Question

How many suitcases averaging 45 pounds apiece can be loaded on a plane with a maximum weight capacity of 1,800 pounds of storage? If s represents the number of suitcases, which of the following inequalities correctly represents this stuation? ≥≤%0D%0A%0D%0AA.%0D%0A1800s ≤ 45%0D%0A%0D%0AB.%0D%0A45s ≥ 1800%0D%0A%0D%0AC.%0D%0A1800s ≥ 45%0D%0A%0D%0AD.%0D%0A45s ≤ 1800

The correct inequality is:

C. 1800 ≤ 45s

To find the number of suitcases that can be loaded on the plane, we need to divide the total weight capacity by the average weight of each suitcase.

Setting up the inequality:
1,800 ≤ 45s

Dividing by 45 on both sides:
40 ≤ s

Therefore, a maximum of 40 suitcases can be loaded on the plane, with each suitcase averaging 45 pounds.
