Reginald cement truck can carry up to 2200 pounds of cargo. He needs to haul 50 bags of cement that way 50 pounds each. Right and solve an inequality to determine whether Reginald will be able to carry all of the cement in one truck.

Respuesta :

Reginald can only carry 44 bags in one truck, therefore he cannot carry all the 50 bags of cement in one truck

Weight of each bag of cement = 50 pounds

Let the number of bags that the truck is capable of carrying be x

The truck can not carry more than a weight of 2200 pounds

The inequality to calculate the number of bags that the truck can carry is:

50x    ≤  2200

Divide both sides by 50

50x / 50   ≤  2200/50

x     ≤   44

The maximum number of cement bags that the truck can carry is 44

Since 44 < 50, Reginal will not be able to carry all the cement in one truck
