Answer 1

Question is Incomplete;Complete question is given below.

A small cargo plane currently has 145 pounds of cargo aboard. In addition, n boxes weighing 45 pounds each will be brought aboard. Suppose that the total weight of the cargo on board must be at most p pounds. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing this.

Answer:

The inequality representing the situation is
`145+45n\leq p`.

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of cargo = 145 pounds

Number of boxes =
`n`

Weight of each box = 45 pounds

Maximum total weight of the cargo =
`p`

We need to write the Inequality representing the situation;

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Weight of cargo plus the number of boxes multiplied by weight of each box should be less than or equal to maximum total weight of the cargo.

framing in equation form we get;

`145+45n\leq p`

Hence The inequality representing the situation is
`145+45n\leq p`.
