Question

A farmer plants wheat and corn. It costs about $150 per acre to plant wheat and about $350 per acre to plant corn. The farmer plans to spend no more than $250,000 planting wheat and corn. The total area of corn and wheat that the farmer plans to plant is less than 1200 acres

Answer 1

The inequality that models this situation is 150x + 350 y ≤ 250000 and x + y < 1200

What is an inequality?

An inequality is an expression that shows the non equal comparison of two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of wheat acres and y represent the number of corn acres, hence:

150x + 350 y ≤ 250000     (1)

Also:

x + y < 1200     (2)

The inequality that models this situation is 150x + 350 y ≤ 250000 and x + y < 1200
