Question 835153: How to create a inequality? Let x= let y=
Cats require 12 minutes per day dogs require 20 minutes and can spend up to 8 hrs each day
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = number of cats, y = number of dogs
If one cat requires 12 minutes per day, then x cats will require 12x minutes (12 times x). Note: if this makes no sense, then replace x with a number, say x = 3, so 3 cats require 12*3 = 36 minutes
If one dog requires 20 minutes, then y of them will take up 20y minutes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In total, x cats and y dogs will take up a total of  minutes
There are 8 hours total, which is equal to 8*60 = 480 minutes. This is the max you can spend with both animals combined, which means
Remember to keep your units the same. Each animal's time is in minutes, so that's why I converted 8 hours to 480 minutes.
