Each afternoon Maria walks the dogs at a local pet shelter for up to 2 hours.
---------------------------------
Maria spends 26 minutes walking a large dog and 12 minutes walking a small dog.
========

Write an inequality for this situation.
Time Inequality: 26L + 12s <= 120 minutes
---------------------------------------------
If Maria walked 9 dogs in one afternoon, what is the greatest number of large dogs that she could have walked that afternoon?

Comment You would have to know how many of the 9 dogs were large
and how many were small.
