Question

Every day, Ezra uses no more than 11 liters to water his sunflower plants and lily plants. Every sunflower plant requires 0.7 liters of water while every lily plant requires 0.4 liters of water.

Write an inequality that represents the number of sunflower plants `s` and the number of lily plants `l` that Ezra needs to water everyday.

Answer 1

The inequality representing the maximum number of sunflower plants 's' and lily plants 'l' that Ezra can water with a limit of 11 liters is 0.7s + 0.4l ≤ 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to write an inequality that represents the number of sunflower plants s and the number of lily plants l that Ezra can water every day, given a limit of 11 liters of water.

As every sunflower plant requires 0.7 liters and every lily plant requires 0.4 liters, the inequality to represent this situation can be written as:

0.7s + 0.4l ≤ 11

This inequality indicates that the total amount of water used to water the sunflower plants and lily plants together should not exceed 11 liters.
