Question

Mia needs to bring at least 25 pieces of fruit to the school picnic. She suggested both apples and oranges and was told to be sure to bring more than 10 apples. Let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges. Select all inequalities that model this situation.

Answer 1

The Correct answer I just took the test!

x+y≥25

x>10

y>0

Answer 2

The number of apples is x, and the number of oranges is y.


"Mia needs to bring at least 25 pieces of fruit to the school picnic."

means that x+y≥25


"She was told to be sure to bring more than 10 apples."

means that x≥10


thus, the inequalities are:

i) x+y≥25

ii) x≥10
