24) A manufacturing plant produces two different-sized containers of peanuts. One container
weighs x ounces and the
other weighs y pounds. If a gift set can hold one of each size container,
which expression represents the number of gift sets needed to hold 124 ounces?
1)
124
3)
124
16x + y
2) x+16y
x+16y
4) 16x + y
124
124

Respuesta :

The linear equation that represents the number of gift sets needed to hold 124 ounces is x + 16y = 124. Then the correct option is 2.

What is the linear system?

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

A manufacturing plant produces two different-sized containers of peanuts.

One container weighs x ounces and the other weighs y pounds.

If a gift set can hold one of each size container.

Then the equation represents the number of gift sets needed to hold 124 ounces

We know that the conversion of the pound to the ounce will be

1 pound = 16 ounces

y pound = 16y ounces

Then we have

x + 16y = 124
