- Biology Each day, an average adult moose can process about 32 kilograms of terrestrial vegetation (twigs and leaves) and aquatic vegetation. From this food, it needs to obtain about 1.9 grams of sodium and 11,000 calories of energy. Aquatic vegetation has about 0.15 gram of sodium per kilogram and about 193 calories of energy per kilogram, whereas terrestrial vegetation has minimal sodium and about four times as much energy as aquatic vegetation. Write and graph a system of inequalities that describes the amounts t and a of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation, respectively, for the daily diet of an average adult moose.arrow_forwardMary needs to purchase supplies of answer sheets and pencils for a standardized test to be given to the juniors at her high school. The number of the answer sheets needed is at least 5 more than the number of pencils. The pencils cost $2 and the answer sheets cost $1. Mary’s budget for these supplies allows for a maximum cost of $400. (a) Write a system of inequalities to model this situation. (b) Graph the system. (c) Could Mary purchase 100 pencils and 100 answer sheets? (d) Could Mary purchase 150 pencils and 150 answer sheets?arrow_forwardMary needs to purchase supplies of answer sheets and pencils for a standardized test to be given to the juniors at her high school.

- Tickets for an American Baseball League game for 3 adults and 3 children cost less than $75, while tickets for 2 adults and 4 children cost less than $62. (a) Write a system of inequalities to model this problem. (b) Graph the system. (c) Could the tickets cost $20 for adults and $8 for children? (d) Could the tickets cost $15 for adults and $5 for children?arrow_forwardPhysical Fitness Facility A physical fitness facility is constructing an indoor running track with space for exercise equipment inside the track (see figure). The track must be at least 125 meters long, and the exercise space must have an area of at least 500 square meters. (a) Write and graph a system of inequalities that describes the requirements of the facility. (b) Find two solutions of the system and interpret their meanings in the context of the problem.arrow_forwardCoffee Blends A coffee merchant sells two different coffee blends. The Standard blend uses 4 oz of Arabica and 12 oz of robusta beans per package: the Deluxe blend uses 10 oz of arabica and 6 oz of robusta beans per package. The merchant has 80 lb of arabica and 90 Ib of robusta beans available. Find a system of inequalities that describes the possible number of Standard and Deluxe packages the merchant cam make. Graph the solution set.arrow_forward
- Shipping A warehouse supervisor has instructions to ship at least 50 bags of gravel that weigh 55 pounds each and at least 40 bags of stone that weigh 70 pounds each. The maximum weight capacity of the truck being used is 7500 pounds. (a) Write and graph a system that describes the numbers of bags of stone and gravel that can be shipped. (b) Find two solutions of the system and interpret their meanings in the context of the problem.arrow_forwardPhilip’s doctor tells him he should add at least 1,000 more calories per day to his usual diet. Philip wants to buy protein bars that cost $1.80 each and have 140 calories and juice that costs $1.25 per bottle and have 125 calories. He doesn’t want to spend more than $12. (a) Write a system of inequalities that models this situation. (b) Graph the system. (c) Can he buy 3 protein bars and 5 bottles of juice? (d) Can he buy 5 protein bars and 3 bottles of juice?arrow_forward
