Question
The maximum carrying capacity of a camel is pounds. Which of the following inequalities correctly models , the number of -pound humans, and , the number of -pound packs the camel can carry?
Solution
It seems like there are some missing values in your question. Normally, the problem would look something like this:
"The maximum carrying capacity of a camel is C pounds. Which of the following inequalities correctly models H, the number of P-pound humans, and B, the number of Q-pound packs the camel can carry?"
The inequality would be:
HP + BQ ≤ C
This means that the total weight of the humans (H times the weight of each human, P) plus the total weight of the packs (B times the weight of each pack, Q) should be less than or equal to the maximum carrying capacity of the camel (C).
