a. Let p represent the total number of people. Write an inequality to describe the number of people that a boat can hold. Draw a number line diagram that shows all possible solutions b. Let w represent the total weight of a group of people wishing to rent a boat. Write an inequality that describes all total weights allowed in a boat.
Answers
Answer :
If p is the number of people, and each boat can hold at most 8 people, then the number of people that can fit in a boat is represented as
0≤p≤8, where p is a whole number.
Since we cannot have a negative number of people or parts of people, we get the number line diagram below for the solution set.

If w is the total weight of a group of people, and each boat can carry at most 900 pounds, then the weight of a group that can be held in a boat is represented as
0≤w≤900.
Since we cannot have a negative weight for a group of people, we get the number line diagram below for the solution set. Note that this time any point on the blue line is a possible solution, it does not have to be a whole number like we saw in part (a).
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution: graphing inequalities a. Let be the number of people in a group that wishes to rent a boat. Then represents the total weight of the.
