From part a, the inequality to determine the number of bags Ryan can place on the shelf is 5x+33≤80 where x denotes the number of 5-pound bags of flour.   Consider 5x+33≤80    ⇒5x≤80-33     ⇒5x≤47   ⇒x≤475    ⇒x≤9.4.   The constraints that are needed is x∈ℕ as the number of bags cannot be in fraction or is negative terms. Thus, x=9 as 9 is the largest natural number satisfying x≤9.4. Hence, Ryan can place 9 boxes on the shelf. The question: COMMUNICATE PRECISELY Is the answer to part b reasonable in the context of the situation? Explain your reasoning.

Question

b. From part a, the inequality to determine the number of bags Ryan can place on the shelf is

5x+33≤80 where x denotes the number of 5-pound bags of flour.

 

Consider 5x+33≤80    ⇒5x≤80-33     ⇒5x≤47   ⇒x≤475    ⇒x≤9.4.

 

The constraints that are needed is x∈ℕ as the number of bags cannot be in fraction or is negative terms.

Thus, x=9 as 9 is the largest natural number satisfying x≤9.4.

Hence, Ryan can place 9 boxes on the shelf.

The question:

COMMUNICATE PRECISELY Is the answer to part b reasonable in the context of the
situation? Explain your reasoning.
