Question

How many suitcases averaging 20 pounds a piece can be loaded unto a plane the can hold a maximum of 2,300 pounds of storage ? If S represents the number of suitcases , how would you write an inequality expressing the situation.

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine how many suitcases can be loaded onto the plane, we need to divide the maximum storage capacity of the plane (2,300 pounds) by the average weight of each suitcase (20 pounds).

Number of suitcases (S) = Maximum storage capacity / Average weight
S = 2,300 / 20
S = 115

This means that 115 suitcases averaging 20 pounds each can be loaded onto the plane. To write an inequality expressing this situation, we can use the formula above and represent it as:

Number of suitcases ≤ 115
