The number y of passengers riding an elevator can be no greater than the elevator's maximum weight capacity x (in pounds) divided by 150. Write and graph an inequality that relates the number of passengers to the maximum weight capacity. Identify and interpret one of the solutions.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "\"Can be no greater than\" means 'is less than or equal to'. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Inequality: \n" ); document.write( "y <= x/150 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "=========== \n" ); document.write( "Example y = x/150 \n" ); document.write( "If max weight capacity is 900 lbs. \n" ); document.write( "y = 900/150 = 6 \n" ); document.write( "passenger capacity is 6 persons. \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
