Question

Marco has $120 to spend on ground beef and hot dogs for a picnic. The hot dogs costs $4.89 per pound. The ground beef costs $6.39 per pound. Let b represent the pounds of ground beef that Marco can purchase, and let h represent the pounds of hot dogs that Marco can purchase. Write an inequality to represent this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

This should fall under quadratic inequalities and linear programming.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first logical step would ro immediately know that

Whatever they buy must be

$\leqslant 120$

So from my understanding the inequality is

4.89h + 6.39b $\leqslant 120$

You could divide through by 4.89 to simplify but then it will not be as accurate due to so many decimals. I hope that helps.
